Vaya Trails work with a number of rural communities and nature reserves in Eswatini exploring the country and sourcing hiking trails that show off the superb landscapes of the country. We have connected existing footpaths and animal tracks to craft a bespoke network of trails - short or long, easy or difficult - offering guided half day, full day or multi-day trails.
Vaya Trails believe there are many ways we can help protect our environment and that sharing our scenic and cultural wonders with the communities who inhabit them, and with you, is a step in the right direction to preserving our natural heritage.
Eswatini is the second smallest country in Africa yet offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, topography, geology, micro-climates and ecological zones, ranging from mountainous highveld grasslands to lowveld African bush.
The northern highveld is dominated by the Makhonjwa Mountain Range; the oldest mountains in the world, which are part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt. A short distance to the south are the Sibebe range, home of the amazing Sibebe Rock, which is the second largest granite pluton in the world. Across central Eswatini to the east of the country is the Lubombo plateau, a biodiversity hotspot renowned for its profusion of tree and bird species.
Vaya Trails have a portfolio of routes, and guides to take you, on foot, through the most splendid regions in the Kingdom of Eswatini.
