Peak season:
Swaziland’s peak tourism season falls in its winter time, which is between June and September. This is when a lot of tourists flock to the land-locked country between South Africa and Mozambique to be part of the celebrations of the Umhlanga Reed Dance Day. Umhlanga Reed Dance Day takes place in August and is closely followed by Independence Day (or Somhlolo as the locals refer to it). Be sure to book your flight tickets a few months in advance if you’re aiming at joining in on the party.
