About Malolotja

The Malolotja is a Nature Reserve in Swaziland in the provinces of Hhohho. The park was established on - and covers an area of 0.18 km². The Malolotja offers the possibility of self-drive safaris.

The national park borders the Songimvelo Game Reserve in South Africa and together they form the Songimvelo-Malolotja Transfrontier Conservation Area (Peace Park), which is also part of the Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area. There is not much wildlife in the reserve, which is why it is primarily a hiking destination. The reserve is home to some special birds and the unique mountain flora is also worth mentioning. A highlight is the canopy tour, where you sail back and forth between platforms in the canopy on a zip line.
