For a country you could potentially miss while blinking at a map, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) packs a surprisingly hefty punch. This tiny landlocked kingdom, completely surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique, offers an enticing blend of traditional culture, dramatic landscapes, and remarkable wildlife experiences—all without the tourist crowds. At once ancient and modern, Eswatini remains one of Africa’s few absolute monarchies, where royal ceremonies coexist with vibrant festivals and adventure tourism.
