Swaziland might be among the smallest countries on the continent and one of Africa’s remaining monarchies, but there’s more than novelty value on offer here. You can almost feel South Africa’s undercurrents of tension fade away when you cross the border into friendly, easy-going ittle Swaziland, making it a relaxing stopover on the trip between Mozambique and South Africa. And it’s surprising how much there is to do here – the royal ceremonies, excellent wildlife reserves and superb scenery should be more than enough reason to come.

El Middleveld o Middle Veld (Medio Veld), con 700 metros de altura media, ocupa el 26% del territorio. Es una región de colinas y valles fértiles.
El Lowveld o Low Veld (Bajo Veld), de 200 metros de media es una zona insalubre y seca.
La Cordillera Lebombo, de 600 metros de altura media es una zona relativamente aislada al este del país.

Los ríos más importantes que riegan el país son: el Usutu, el Ingwavuma y el Komati. La cota más alta es el monte Emlembe con 1.862 metros y la más baja se encuentra en el río Usutu a 21 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
