Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is a peaceful and beautiful reserve located in the heart of Eswatini’s ‘Valley of Heavens.’ The sanctuary is unique because it lacks large predators, allowing you to explore the golden grasslands and mountain trails on foot, by mountain bike, or even on horseback. As you navigate the paths, you can walk alongside zebras, wildebeests, and impalas, offering a rare and gentle way to experience Africa’s wildlife. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic peak of Execution Rock, which offers sweeping views of the lush valley below. It is a place of quiet beauty and outdoor adventure, where the sound of the wind in the grass is the only music you need.
