The Kingdom of Swaziland, no longer than 200km from its northernmost to southernmost tip and no wider than 130km from its most westerly to easterly borders, is a small country with boundless appeal.

There are several accommodation options in proportion to the size of the country, although location matters little in Swaziland as everything is relatively close. Voted the best hostel in Swaziland by hostelworld, Lidwala Backpackers Lodge is located in the Ezulwini valley, forty-five minutes by car from the western border with South Africa.
