trip to Swaziland

Short trip in Swaziland, during the tour of South Africa

 

Having got the paperwork at the border post of Sandlane, we will venture into the small African country. Along the E20 is the Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary Nature Reserve [Tel: (09268) 528-3944] and we decide to visit it. This reserve is the way to a first significant taste of the wonderful animals that will meet the next photo-safari. We can walk the trails with our car ... We can see up close several zebras, the warthog and antelope, and we recognize the gnu, but our curiosity is attracted by the small lake where there is one group of hippos. We hides in sacred silence for a good half hour, but they do not want to give us "photographers." Unhappy that he saw only nostrils, eyes and ears of the hippopotamus (impatient for the heat these large pachyderms prefer to remain completely immersed), continue the march toward the capital, Mbabane: nothing exceptional.
