Welcome to Eswatini - Kingdom of Swaziland | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids

Have you ever wondered what Swaziland is like? Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa, but it is now starting to boom because of the full support of their government in promoting tourism. It has so much to offer in such a small space.
The highlight of our trip was the visit to Hlane Royal National Park, which is the largest in Swaziland and the best park to see the big five.
Enjoy the video and let us know where you're watching from!

[@gsco82]

Quite good as a tourist's perspective. Your comments about kids on the roadsides and how locals manage with the somewhat high prices in the supermarkets are easily understood by those who have lived there. Eswatini is a developing country with a large portion of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture. Children are expected to do some work, perhaps minding the youngest siblings. Most Swazis buy only some items at the supermarket. Where possible they grow their own vegetables, maize, and raise their own livestock.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah I can see why. It’s actually probably much healthier to eat directly from the garden anyway. It’s always interesting for us to see this. We experienced the same thing in the country of Uruguay and Belize. Their grocery stores were quite expensive and hard for us to imagine how people can afford it.

[@lizdyson3627]

Amazing experience for you all.😀

What a great video. I was wondering if you can tell me what border crossing you went through. I’m going to Swaziland from South Africa and have read some border entries are quicker than others. Thank you.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Our border crossing was supper fast but one thing we didn't know was that you weren't allowed to bring in food. Well you could but you had to declare it. They let us go with no trouble I think because we were obvious tourist but just FYI. We crossed through Pongola game reserve and through the Goela border.

[@allwhothirst777]

I'm a Swazi citizen ( currently in India). The video is ok but not totally informative, just a highlight of random things there and there. I must confess that food is expensive in our tiny Kingdom even more for a visitor who doesn't compare amongst shops... And buying mid month isn't ideal. I suppose your grocery was done at Shoprite Ezulwini where its obviously costly. Spar, and PickPay offer much better. A person who has never been in the Kingdom might be tempted to think that Swaziland is all rural and farms and game reserves and that's it.... You could have highlighted Mbabane, Manzini and Ezulwini briefly... I was so shy when the guide talked about women being submissive to men and the story just freaked me... Pls understand that its not what's happening nowadays.... Men & women within eSwatini are equal before the constitution. . Otherwise thanks for your video..... Seems great!!! After all!!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks for your comment. Yes you're right about women being equal. This was the Mantanga village where they're showing how it used to be. I'm not sure what the difference between mid-month is for buying groceries but yes it was at the Shoprite. I hope you're not missing your home country too much.

[@vipinlamba3323]

Tami Nkambule hi dear welcome our country. I m from Delhi. India.

[@kimhorton4197]

Equal before the constitution but not necessarily in reality. Don’t underplay the inequalities between men and women in the country.

[@owelle700]

First of all, let me compliment the fantastic job this beautiful family has done in portraying eSwatini in a very beautiful light. Secondly, shame on you Tami NKAMBULE for criticising and implying that the video was not well done. You are a Swazi citizen, right? Show me your own video that you have made to highlight the beautiful attributes of your country, so richly documented by this family ? You sat around and did absolutely NOTHING but when a total stranger and foreigner had the guts and initiative to do something, rather than encourage and congragulate, you resort to diminish the work. You have NO RIGHT to criticise. Shame on you. Kindly think along these lines in future. Cheers.

[@dario-cadalystarchitecture7712]

@16:54 Q: How do the locals do it? A: Majority of the products you purchased are mainly bought by the 100K-300K income tax paying citizens the rest of the 1,0million locals are subsistence farmers living off their farms/the land for their fresh produce. @18.03 Thatched Roofing - The grass straw /grassland reeds / water reeds or Sedge grass grows in the savannah plain which is pretty much the whole of Africa including in Eswatini. Q : Is it really expensive? A : For Westerners or Urban citizens it will be expensive because of the amount of material (Grass Reed) needed, the labour, transportation and the size of building. Western styled buildings are generally bigger compared to rural housing needs for the locals. For locals, generally the herd boy/shepards do the cutting & collection at no fee from their home lands/farms, drags the reeds home by Ox cart and use a village craftsmen to build at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks!

[@danm21healy3]

Great video guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew so little about Swaziland (however, I understand they're in the process of changing their name due to regular confusion with Switzerland?). $70USD for those groceries seems very expensive, did you ever get to the bottom of how people afford to pay those prices? Arosa was very cute, was she protecting you or do you think she just enjoyed a girls afternoon out? Keep up the great work!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. You’re right about the name change. It’s going to be eSwatini. Strange right? It will be the only country in the world to start with a lower case letter. I don’t think everyone can afford those prices. They most likely buy from the little food stands and have a different diet. We saw this in Malawi where their main dish consisted of maize (corn mashed like potatoes). I think Arosa was just happy to have nice company. She was such a sweat dog and had a little limp but managed to come along the whole way with us.

[@danm21healy3]

Well of course, as you can likely imagine- i don't speak Siswati.

[@danm21healy3]

Good evening, I can only assume by the level of defensiveness that you have misunderstood the intent of my comment. I asked about how people afford those products as the GDP is less than where I live and the products were expensive to me.

[@nazarenebabycakes]

@@adorablencele5418 The food prices back home are pretty much steep for the ordinary Swazi citizen. If you understand a bit of Economics you must have heard of what we call the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Which is basically the amount of goods/services one could by with a particular currency, normally converted to a dollar equivalent. Compared to other LEDC's with such low GDP per capita, Swaziland is one of the most expensive countries to live in. Simply put, a dollar in your pocket would buy you more goods in another country than Swaziland. That's my two cents

[@prickjamesbitch]

The name is change is to native language Siswati which means land of Swazis aka Swaziland.
