Authentic Africa Hut and Local Host Family
Come enjoy a traditional African vacation including a wonderful host who will cook Swazi food for you and let you enjoy and be part of a real Swazi family, but you have separate quarters from the family. She will be your tour guide either using local transportation (kombies) or your rental car, take you to Mantenga Natural Village to see and participate in tribal dancing and learn of the culture and tour an original Swazi traditional home. The HomeAway hut you are renting is made of sticks and mud with a thatched roof iconic of African tribal life. It comfortably houses two adults but will smugly accommodate up to 2 children. A lot of people in a little house is customary of African culture. The hut is furnished with necessities and has clean, safe drinking water. It comes with a community outhouse, no bathroom (also part of African life). Electricity and WiFi available but cost extra. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not just visit Africa, but be part of African day-to-day life. Hut available in warm weather which is September - February (seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere).
