  • A friendly lodge with amazing views of Swaziland. Peace and tranquility is sure to be found. The nature reserve is also quite enjoyable. Great for friends and families.
  • Mlawula Nature Reserve is a beautiful native bush ecosystem in Swatini, Mlawula is best explored on foot and has a 50km network of trails offering plenty of opportunities to explore. There are different accommodation options within the reserve ,picnic camping is also possible. We most often stay at Magadzavane Lodge located 16 km from the town of Siteki and close to the Goba/Mhlumeni border. Magadzavane has furnished suites, restaurant, bar, conference center and swimming pool....a great place for a relaxing vacation.
