Lonely Planet: eSwatini is one of the top countries for travel in 2020!

According to Lonely Planet's "Best in Travel 2020", the Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly known as Swaziland) is one of the top countries to visit next year. The country is ranked fifth after Lonely Planet's top country of the year, Bhutan, England, North Macedonia and Aruba. The largest travel guide book publisher in the world names the following reasons why eSwatini is one of the top destinations for the coming year:

Petite, pleasant and packed with culture, adventure and legendary wildlife, the newly named Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly Swaziland) is one of Southern Africa’s most underrated (and least visited) destinations. A new international airport, as well as improved road infrastructure between it, conservation areas and the capital, are aimed to increase visitor numbers in the years ahead – get here in 2020 to ensure yourself a front seat. The varied landscapes within its parks and reserves provide one exciting revelation after another, whether it’s zip lining, trekking, whitewater rafting or mind-blowing rhino encounters. Mix in a pervading sense of peace and enthralling cultural festivities and you’ll be smiling all the way home. [src.]
