Lying in the heart of rural Swaziland, Siteki is perched spectacularly in the Lebombo region of the country. It is 30km south of Mlawula Nature Reserve and a two hour drive from Mbabane. Siteki word means 'marrying place' and is named as such because Mbandzeni, great-grandfather of the present king, gave his troops permission to marry here. The town was popular with renegades, highwaymen and frontier troops and the legacy of this is still palpable in the air. |
