| In Eastern Swaziland where the hot, still sun of Africa beats on the dry but life-giving soils as it has for thousands of years and the rumbling roars of the lions are heard in the cool dusky evenings, lies Swaziland’s largest protected area, Hlane Royal National Park, home to the largest herds of game in Swaziland. | | | The magnificent 'King of the Beasts' | | | | Hlane, meaning "wilderness", so named by King Sobhuza II, covers 30 000 hectares of prime Swazi bushveld, dominated by ancient hardwood vegetation. Hlane is home to lion, elephant, leopard, white rhino and an abundant and diverse bird life, including the highest density of raptors in Swaziland that grace the skies above Hlane and look down on this beautiful land. | | | Stone chalets provide rustic accommodation | | | | A network of game-viewing roads criss-cross the park’s flat terrain, weaving between the 1000 year old hardwood vegetation and shallow pans which attract great herds of animals during the dry winter months. Guided walking safaris, guided mountain bike trails and guided tours in Hlane’s game viewing vehicles are also available. | | | Comfortably appointed bedrooms | | | | Head for the bush and experience the sights and sounds of Hlane enhanced by the roar of Hlane’s magnificent lions – the symbol of royalty and the pride of Swaziland. | | | A gentle stroll along the river bank | | | | | | | Rates are available on request. | | |
