What kind of country is Eswatini?

Eswatini, known as 'Swaziland' until April 19, 2018, is a small country located in southern Africa. It is a monarchy, often referred to as Africa's last remaining traditional kingdom.

In addition to wildlife and breathtaking nature spots such as Mkhaya Game Reserve, famous for its rhinos, and the scenic Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Eswatini also offers cultural experiences like traditional Swazi dance at the Mantenga Nature Reserve and Cultural Village.

Among African countries, Eswatini is a place where time flows gently and naturally, with few tourists so far. If you want to experience authentic African nature, culture, and people—not just a typical 'resort'—this is the destination for you!

Share your interests and what you want to try with our coordinators, and enjoy a special, tailor-made journey just for you.

Discover the real Eswatini. (Experience Report)

Things you might wonder about when traveling in Eswatini.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
The currency of Eswatini is the Lilangeni (plural: Emalangeni), but within the country—especially in places frequented by tourists—South African Rand is also widely accepted.
It is recommended to bring Euros or US Dollars from Japan, as they are easy to exchange at local airports, banks, or hotels. For a short stay of a few days, having South African Rand should be sufficient.
Credit cards are accepted in urban areas, but it is safer to carry a small amount of cash.
Tips
Tipping is customary. In restaurants where a service charge is not included, about 10% is appropriate. For guides, it is recommended to give around 15–20 US dollars per day, paid in a lump sum on the final day.
Public order
The crime rate in Eswatini is not high compared to neighboring countries.
However, since Eswatini shares borders with South Africa and Mozambique, it is said to serve as a transit point for drug trafficking between the two countries. Therefore, caution is advised near the border areas, as some places can be dangerous.

Be mindful of pickpocketing and theft at tourist sites as well.
clothing
Throughout the year, short sleeves and lightweight shirts for sun protection are suitable attire.
Since it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings, it is advisable to bring an extra layer. Additionally, women are required to wear a skirt as formal attire when visiting places like the royal palace.
Things you should bring
Multi-plug adapter, regular medication, mobile battery, overseas travel insurance, sunblock and sun protection items
Visa availability and arrangements
For short stays of up to 30 days, a visa is not required.
Since there is no Embassy of the Kingdom of Eswatini in Japan, please check with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Eswatini in Malaysia (Tel: +60-3-2163-2511, https://www.swazilandkualalumpur.org/consular_services/visa.php) or the Eswatini authorities (https://www.gov.sz/index.php/services-sp-22242747/visa) for the latest information on procedures and regulations.
Required vaccinations
There are no mandatory requirements for entry.
However, travelers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever, as well as those who have transited for more than 12 hours in such countries and are over 9 months old, are required to present a yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card).
It is also recommended to get vaccinated against malaria before traveling.
