A Guide to Gap Year in Swaziland

Popular Locations

Being such a small country, you may be wondering where you should go and what you can do during a gap year in Swaziland! Well, there are a few incredible locations that give you access to politics, wildlife, and nature. So cheers to these gap year programs in Swaziland!

Lobamba is an incredible destination for your gap year in Swaziland since it is the spiritual home of Swazi nation. This centrally located city has been the longtime host for Swaziland’s monarchy, making it also the center for politics. The city, which is generally calm, comes to life during the Incwala and Umhlanga ceremonies where people come together to celebrate. This city also has easy access for safari adventures, if you’re into that sort of thing (but, come on, who isn’t?!). 

Mbabane is also an incredible destination for your gap year in Swaziland! As the capital of the country, this is an important place to experience in order to see the inner workings of the country. Surrounded by mountains, Mbabane is a great place to hike and connect deeply with nature (and spend some time in hot springs!!! Who can say no to that?). If you are big into biking, Mbabane may be the place for you with the Coronation Cycle Park. Cycle, hike, safari, Mbabane!
