The Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly known as the Kingdom of Swaziland) is a small, landlocked monarchy in Southern Africa, which borders both South Africa and Mozambique. The two official and most widely spoken languages are siSwati and English. Overall, the country is very safe, people are friendly, and the hitching is great.

siSwati

siSwati is a Bantu language that is very similar to Zulu, and is the most widely spoken language in eSwatini. In general, everyone speaks siSwati and maybe a bit of English; in general, younger people speak more English than the old.
