Swaziland Teaching Project
Project Location
This project is based in the Ezulwini Valley in the two small towns of Ezulwini and Lobamba, Swaziland
Swaziland
Swaziland is a beautiful kingdom, land-locked by South Africa and Mozambique, in the South East of Africa. With a little over 1 million people, it’s certainly one of the smaller African nations, but is equally as charming and culturally diverse as those who share its borders. Despite suffering from considerable problems with poverty and HIV/AIDS, Swaziland is considered to be one of the safest countries in Southern Africa, with its people demonstrating civility and peacefulness to those who are lucky enough to travel there.
Free Time
You will have the opportunity to volunteer Monday to Friday, from 7am to 12am. In the afternoon, work on the project is optional to you. This means that afternoons and weekends are generally free for you to relax if you wish and get involved in a multitude of fun adventure activities and cultural exposure.
There are various optional activities available to you including horse riding, mountain biking, visiting local craft markets, taking part in cultural festivities or just simply relaxing in the sun. When it is possible your coordinator will arrange long weekends and expeditions of up to 5 days for you to places such as Kruger National Park, Mozambique, St. Lucia and the Natal Drakensberg. These activities will be available to you at a special reduced rate and are dependent on volunteer numbers, at your own cost. Please talk to the your programme coordinator if you would like further information.
Getting There
You will need to fly into Manzini International Airport in Swaziland, which will usually be via Johannesburg in South Africa. Upon arrival you will be met by our project coordinator in the arrivals lounge and will then be taken to your project to begin your orientation and settle in.
