The official currency is the Swazi Lilangeni (SZL), but South African Rand is widely accepted. It's a good idea to have some local currency on hand for small purchases.

 Transportation:
Public transportation options may be limited, so consider renting a car for more flexibility. Ensure you have reliable navigation tools as some rural areas may not have well-marked roads.

Health Precautions:
Carry a basic medical kit with essentials like pain relievers, any necessary prescription medications, and items for minor injuries. Be cautious of the sun (especially in summer), use sunscreen, and stay hydrated.

Responsible Tourism:
Respect the local culture and environment. Follow Leave No Trace principles, stay on marked trails, and avoid disturbing wildlife. Support local businesses and artisans to contribute positively to the community.

Cultural Sensitivity:
Eswatini has a rich cultural heritage. When visiting local communities or participating in cultural events, be respectful of traditions and ask for permission before taking photographs. Click here for cultural events. 

Safety:
Eswatini is generally safe for tourists, but it's always wise to stay vigilant. Keep your belongings secure, be cautious in unfamiliar areas, and follow local safety advice.
