Getting to Eswatini is relatively straightforward, whether travelling from near or far. Typically, international visitors fly into the country via King Mswati III International Airport. Modern and well-equipped, the airport receives flights from major hubs, such as Johannesburg’s OR Tambo, Cape Town, Harare, and Durban Airports.
Offering connections to various global destinations, Johannesburg has subsequently become the primary gateway for travellers bound for Eswatini with Eswatini Air and Airlink servicing King Mswati III International Airport on a daily basis.
Those already in Southern Africa can also easily access the country by road, with well-maintained motorways connecting the country to neighbouring South Africa and Mozambique.
Once in Eswatini, getting around is straightforward. Public transportation options include minibuses, also known as kombis, that travel frequently between towns and cities. However, these are often crowded and operate without strict schedules.
For reliable, consistent comfort and flexibility, private transport such as rental cars are recommended and widely available in major towns. Taxis are also available in urban areas, but it’s advisable to negotiate fares in advance as meters are uncommon.
For those seeking a guided experience, several tour operators provide comprehensive services which include transportation, making it easy and hassle-free to explore the country’s attractions.
Eswatini’s compact size ensures that most destinations are within a few hours’ drive, allowing for a seamless travel experience.
