Destination

Mhlambanyatsi

The Foresters Arms, a short, scenic, tarred drive from Mbabane, the capital, is ideally situated for exploring all the attractions of this majestic Kingdom. The hotel is situated on 90 ha of beautiful Swaziland highlands in the heart of the Kingdom. Fresh vegetables and herbs and (in season) strawberries, youngberries and raspberries are used in our food, which is prepared with care and pride. Spoil yourself with our wonderful nine-course dinner by candlelight and choose your wine from our imaginative wine list. The Foresters Arms has its own pure, fresh spring water. This area of Swaziland is a paradise of wild flowers, where agapanthus, cerise watsonias, heath, arum lilies, the fragile dierama and delicate grasses abound. All 30 bedrooms are tastefully decorated, with bathrooms en suite, telephones and TV. There are outstanding views over the surrounding countryside. The colourful gardens are a favourite haunt of the sunbirds and paradise flycatchers.
