General: The Kingdom of Swaziland, sometimes called Ngwane, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, surrounded by South Africa to the north, south and west, and borders to the east by Mozambique. Swaziland is a small country, no more than 200 km north to south and 130 km east to west. Swaziland gained independence in 1968 and is a member of the Southern African Development Community, the African Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations. The head of state is the king.

Provinces: Swaziland is divided into four districts: Hhohho, Lubombo, Manzini and Shiselweni.
Major cities: Manzini, Mbabane (capital), Big Bend, Malkerns, Mhlume, Hluti, Siteki, Piggs Peak, Lobamba, Kwaluseni
Major international airports:
- Matsapha (Manzini) International Airport (MTS) is located 5 kilometres (3 miles) west of Manzini. Taxi service to the city centre is available on all arrivals (journey time about 15 minutes). Matshapa is currently Swaziland's only international airport. Visitors should bear in mind that they cannot change money at the airport. SA Airlink runs daily flights between Manzini and Johannesburg.
- The new Sikhuphe International Airport is due to open in May, 2010. The airport is located 40 minutes by road from the commercial centre of Manzini. It will replace Matsapha Airport, which serves largely as a charter airport for small regional carriers such as SA Airlink.
Visa: Most travellers visiting Swaziland enter through South Africa. Travellers traveling to South Africa should have several unstamped visa pages left in their passports. South Africa requires two unstamped visa pages, excluding amendment pages, to enter the country. Visitors who do not have enough free visa pages in their passport risk being denied entry and sent back at their own expense.
Taxis: Exercise caution with using local taxis. Ensure the taxi you use is from a reputable company. Never enter a taxi that is occupied by anyone else besides the driver. It is good practice to call a friend to let them know the plate number of the taxi you are using. Extreme caution is recommended when using mini-bus taxis, which follow fixed routes and are flagged down by passengers almost everywhere on the streets and roads of Swaziland. Many of these vehicles fail to meet minimal safety standards. Drivers frequently overload the vehicles and travel at excessive speeds. Fatal accidents involving this form of transport are very common.
Money: The local currency (Lilangeni, plural Emalangeni) is not convertible. South African notes (but not coins) are legal tender and The South African Rand is pegged to the Lilangeni (L1=R1). Most major credit cards are accepted. ATM machines are readily available in the main towns. Travellers cheques are widely accepted and are best taken in US Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling.
