Sibebe Rock, the world’s second-largest granite monolith, is a hiker’s dream. Scale its slopes at dawn for 360-degree views of the kingdom, then cool off with a Sibebe beer (named after the rock itself).

In Mbabane, the laid-back capital, browse craft markets for Swazi candles and wooden carvings, or sip coffee in a colonial-era café. It’s a charming mix of old-world Africa and modern energy.
