Warning

Most visits to Swaziland are trouble-free and crime levels are low.

Elections and the double celebrations held in 2008 to mark both the King’s 40th birthday and 40 years of independence promoted a rising level of public protest. Avoid unauthorized demonstrations, which can be dispersed by police with a degree of force, possibly involving firearms.

 

Travelers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

 

Travelers are advised not to drive at night along the N4 and other isolated roads, as there is a risk of being hijacked, and livestock and unlit, parked vehicles pose additional hazards.

 

HIV/AIDS prevalence is high - around 43% of the local population are infected.

Health Care
Although medical facilities are generally limited in Swaziland, Mbabame Clinic is well-equipped to deal with minor problems. Most international visitors will use private services, frequently attached to the larger hotels. The public sector is improving and treatment is available at low cost. In emergency cases, where specialized treatment is required, the patient may be transported to a South African hospital. Health insurance is recommended. Personal medications may be brought into the country, but a doctor’s note is advisable in case of questioning by authorities.

Note
* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travelers arriving from an infected area.
