Drive to Mbabane, Swaziland's capital city; a short background to the capital city's history is provided before the tour continues north to Malolotja Nature Reserve. Here the old Ngwenya iron ore mine is a significant feature. There is a small museum to view and an optional 30-minute guided walk to the Lion Cavern. This relatively modest hallowing is undisputedly the excavation point of the oldest human remains in the world (circa 43000 BC). Although now dwarfed by the iron ore excavation, it remains a fascinating insight into the stone age's history.

The return route to your hotel goes off the beaten track via district roads back to pine valley. These photogenic roads let you peek at the rural Swazi community areas.
