Mantenga Cultural Village - Lobamba

We had a great time here! We need to see the Eswatini dance and visit the cultural village. Our guide Paul was a wealth of knowledge! The restaurant is just renovated.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Having already tried cultural villages previously, we weren’t sure what to expect. Mantegna Cultural Village is a beautiful site, made and explained by passionate and proud people. The visit of the reconstituted village was insightful and our guide absolutely great! (We’ve been very impressed when we heard him singing during the concert! He’s ready to join an opera! The show is well done and performed by talented dancers and singers. Absolutely recommend this stop. If you have time, check the waterfall from above from beneath.

Here we learnt about the Swati culture and customs. We also went to view the waterfall situated in the reserve. It's a refreshing sight and site, wonderful I have to say. The cultural dance was epic.

You definitely need to stop here during your visit to eSwatini! The cultural dance (see times on website) and traditional cultural village are very well done and provide an insight to Swazi culture. Make sure to see the waterfall which is only a short walk (or drive) from the main parking lot.

I enjoyed dancing with the performers here and touring the traditional homes. The guide was very informative and friendly. He walked me to see the waterfall and told me more about Swazi history. It's definitely worth the visit.
