Arts & Crafts

The Kingdom of eSwatini (former Swaziland) is a small, land-locked country within South Africa known for its impressive traditional Swazi arts and crafts. Aside from the allure of the colourful beadwork, baobab batik cloths and delicate glass figurines, Swaziland has a wealth of natural and cultural attractions worth exploring too!

Perhaps the most notable in the entirety of Swaziland’s art and craft scene is the Ngwenya Glass Factory. At Ngwenya, visitors are invited to watch the glass blowers hard at work creating anything from tableware to animal figurines, all created from 100% recycled soft drink glass bottles collected from across the country.

Ezulwini Valley is eSwatini’s main area offering a wealth of attraction and arts & crafts. Ezulwini means ‘place of heaven’ and the panoramic valley that bears this name certainly offers its share of hedonistic delights.
