Day 13 – Campervanning in Swaziland!

Ezulwini, Timbali Lodge

Surprisingly, the campsite had free wireless internet accessible from our campervan … so we spent the morning (after a reasonable sleep in) researching and organising our itinerary for the next few days in Swaziland.

After that, we headed off to see some of the local sights here in the Ezulwini Valley, which is quite picturesque with mountains all around us. First to a place called “House on Fire”, set up by local artists with interesting sculptures and buildings, as well as a pub where we had lunch. Then off to Mlilwane Wildlife Park, our first chance to see some animals on a self drive safari.

We managed to see some warthogs, zebras, deer, wildebeest, buffalo. We were hoping to see hippos but that will have to wait until tomorrow . At one stage we tried to get a photo of M standing near a zebra, where K (allegedly) was able to use her horse skills to stop it from (supposedly) getting ready to kick M …. (I thought it was just adjusting its position so we could get a better photo).

Back to the campsite for a pleasant evening, a little more blogging and organising while we still have internet access. We’re almost up to date now on the blog, managing to keep to a post per day, but we suspect our posts may become less frequent over the coming days/weeks.
