Money

The official currency is the lilangeni (plural: emalangeni) and the South Africa’s rand is also accepted. Ensure you exchange any emalangeni before leaving the country. Major credit cards and traveller’s cheques are accepted widely. Traveller’s cheques that are not in UK pounds, euros or US dollars will be charged a high commission rate. ATMs are easy to find.

Safety

Most visitors to Swaziland enjoy trouble-free stays. The country has low rates of crime. Use common sense and protect yourself against petty theft. Avoid driving after dark.

Health

If you’re coming from a country infected with yellow fever, you’ll need a yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter the country. It’s also a good idea to get vaccinated against cholera and typhoid. Malaria is a risk in the lowlands, and hepatitis B and bilharzias are common. HIV/AIDS rates are extremely high. The water in hotels and towns is safe to drink. Tourist hotels often have private physicians to help with minor problems, but most of the country’s medical facilities are poor. Make sure you’re covered by an adequate travel insurance policy.

Electricity

The electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Swaziland uses the same plug as South Africa.
