(from London Heathrow)Flights to Swaziland will come in very handy for those looking to have a relaxing summer in a traditional African country. Located in South Eastern Africa, Swaziland is one of the smallest countries of the continent. However, its varying landscape has made it home to beautiful natural attractions for tourists. From the Drakensberg Mountains in the north to the valleys and grasslands of the south, Swaziland has it all.
Nature is the main element boosting Swaziland’s tourism industry. The Hlane Royal National Park is the largest park in the country, home to a variety of mammals, birds and reptiles. The Swazi culture is known for still holding true to its roots even in this world of modernization. Visitors can stroll around the villages and be accommodated by the hospitable locals in the homesteads. The Incwala Kingship festival, which takes place at the end of the year, is an eight-week celebration uniting all tribes from around the country in a remembrance of the ancestors. For those looking to get enthralled by this cultural exhibition, cheap flight tickets to Swaziland are available at TravelhouseUK.
