We've driven our UK van Trudy through a lot of countries on our around the world challenge, but today discover a small but mighty African country that we'd never heard of - The Kingdom of Eswatini.

Do you want to join us for a special party to celebrate the completion of our drive around the drive this September. We'd love to meet you there:

There is nothing more beautiful than an African sunset. So happy you are enjoying my wonderful Africa!

Amazing guys there are no words! Iam an Aussie and have been watching you guys probably from when you were in Turkey. An absolute inspiration! Life is full of changes and you guys are bloody great !

My dad helped set up the fantastic Malolotja Game park in the highveld. Make sure you go there guys. i can hardly watch this. It makes my heart ache.

The giraffes were as curious about you as you were them. They seemed to be thinking, "Aren't we lucky to have spotted two Brits on our forage today?"

Love your videos. So nice to see such positive people…. Love your attitude and positivity!!! Enjoy the trip !!! Once you have lived under African skies you will never want to leave !

Seeing those traditional drums, at our school we didn’t have a bell, just an African beating hell out his drum, used to get through the skins pretty quickly. So it was drum for wake up, meals and class changes, end of lunch breaks etc, this was Mbeya in Tanganyika about 70 years ago,

Keep they tyre pressure super low off road guys. Will give you a much smoother ride and help if you start to get stuck.

I have lived here all my life and still appreciate our African sunsets. Thank you for the videos. I can't wait for a Sunday to watch. Safe travels in our beautiful country.

[sannamagranna]

Great traveling with you. I can not wait for next week to see your excitement about our Kruger National Park.

Hi, I discovered your channel quite late in your journey. I am a South African and enjoyed your Durban video. It was great to see my country through your eyes. Now I make a note in my diary not to miss a new video. I'll be with you until the end. Stay save and be blessed.

Guys there is so much to see in Southern Africa. So many beautiful mountains and wildlife parks. The bush you saw with the flowers was a Bougainville. I'm loving your trip. Cultural dancing was awesome.

Swaziland is an incredible little kingdom, so glad you enjoyed it. Depending on the border post you go through, you could go through my beautiful hometown of Nelspruit. Either way you'll be in the Mpumalanga province. I've been in Cape Town for three years now, which has been a disappointment, I'm not sure I'll get used to being away from the bush and the true essence of South Africa. You are going into the most amazing part, I hope you have a fantastic week. Drive safely!!

Swaziland / Eswatini is beautiful. It was known as Swaziland when i backpacked through it in 2001! Still have the little table with the tri legs that i brought from a market stall on the side of the road along with a woven basket and some stone carved head busts. Managed to pack them all into my backpack for the flight home 😂. People often forget that Africa can get cold especially when you are at altitude. I’m hoping your next big adventure after you have been back to the UK is to buy a 4x4 and explore Africa further.

Honestly, I held my breath and almost closed my eyes as you crossed that second stretch of water!! Well done - at least we know you did get home safely! 🚌🚌🚌

[katewilliams]

Africa changes you. It’s magical!!❤ I can’t remember a better sunset than the one in Zambia on the river Zambezi
