The green hills and mountains of the west give way to a more rugged and hot landscape as you move east and the eastern area of the country, under the bulk of the Lebombo Mountains, is savanna and bushveld and the location of Swaziland's premier wildlife reserves such as Royal Hlane, Mlawula and Mkhaya. |
