Malolotja Nature Reserve

Malolotja Nature Reserve spans 18,000 hectares of mountain terrain, featuring dense forests, rolling hills, and the 95-meter Malolotja Falls flowing into the Nkomati River.

The geological foundation of the reserve contains rocks dating back 3.5 billion years, formed from ocean sediment that transformed into shales and quartzites.

The reserve incorporates traditional Swazi stone carving craftsmanship, with local artisans creating soapstone products available near the entrance.

The reserve provides various accommodation options including camping sites, self-catering log cabins, and access to traditional beehive chalets at Hawane Resort.

The reserve houses the endangered blue swallow among its 200 bird species and contains two rare cycad species growing in the valley floors.
