Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected natural area in Ezulwini Valley, Eswatini.

The 4,560-hectare sanctuary spans across open grasslands and middleveld vegetation, bordered by the granite peaks of Nyonyane Mountain.

The land transformed from a tin mining and farming site into Eswatini's first conservation area in 1961, following extensive rehabilitation efforts.

The name Mlilwane translates to Little Fire in siSwati, referring to the frequent lightning strikes that occurred on Mlilwane Hill.

Visitors can explore the sanctuary through hiking trails, mountain biking paths, horseback rides, or self-guided vehicle tours without concerns about dangerous predators.

The sanctuary's wetland system at Rest Camp provides natural habitat for hippos, crocodiles, and numerous water birds throughout the year.
