Swaziland travel tip


DOCUMENTS

EU citizens don't need a visa, so your passport will be stamped for free at any entry point open to the foreigners

 

 

MONEY

The currency is the lilangeni (1€= 10 lilangeni). The peculiarity is that in Swaziland the South African Rand is commonly used as currency and the change ratio between lilangeni and rand is always 1:1. That's why is not convenient to change in the local currency your Rands, running the risk to have useless money once outside the country.

 

 


HEALTH

I took Lariam against Malaria, mainly due to the part of the travel in Mozambique; having a mosquito net, wearing long pants, long sleeve shirts and abounding with insect repellent, you can avoid the famigerated Lariam profilassys.
Take into consideration to buy Malarone instead of Lariam, although it's a daily dose (Lariam weekly) and more expensive, it doesn't give Lariam side effects.
If you r gonna staying for a long period in the country, obviously you have to do your counts on risks, money and side-effects!

Morevoer I had the usual vaccinations: Ephatite A, B, Typhus, Tetanus, Meningitis.
I hadn't any problem with the food or the drinks, never drinking tap water, obviously.


 

GUIDE BOOK

I used Lonely Planet 'Southern Africa 2007'; I found it particularly shallow in the details of the frequency of the public means of transports (especially to reach the villages) and also giving the distances, but it's still a helpfull travelmate
