Top tips for renting a car in Eswatini
- Renting a car in Eswatini, Africa, has numerous benefits compared to public transportation. You can conveniently and flexibly visit attractions at your preferred time and pace. You can customize your itinerary according to your preferences. Rental vehicles also provide privacy and ample space for luggage and passengers when visiting Eswatini with family or a group of friends. You can easily visit attractions, including Malolotja Nature Reserve, Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Sibebe Rock, and Mantenga Nature Reserve and Cultural Village, with a rental car, as they provide access to areas barely reachable by public transport.
- Eswatini features mountainous regions, including the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary and Malolotja Nature Reserve areas. The roads leading to these areas are steep and winding; therefore, you may want to rent a vehicle with good engine power and handling to drive on these roads effortlessly.
