This little kingdom, enclave of the South Africa, without ways out on the sea, is a state friendly and nice, whose sovereign (with legislative and executive powers) seems engaged above all to change wife: every year chooses a new one between many pretenders.
The capital is Mbabane, but the principal town is Manzini, while king and the court reside in the Ezulwini Valley to few kilometers from Lobamba.
It is an enclave of the South Africa but we remark the deep difference between the two states: racial animosities, deeply rooted in the South Africa, are almost completely absent, here the atmosphere is quiet and the population is very cordial.
Mountainous views are extraordinary and entering contact with the traditional lively culture is easy. I panorami montuosi sono straordinari ed è facile entrare in contatto con la vivace cultura tradizionale.
