Mabuda Farm
From Mbabane (or Ngwenya-Oshoek Border Post) ? Ngwenya-Oshoek Border Post: It's quite relaxed. You will need to get a slip of paper from the SA customs for your car, no cost. After stamping your passport at departure, the SA police sometimes examine your vehicle chassis number and engine number on exit, don't be alarmed! Drive to the Swazi side, fill in an entry form requesting up to 30 days (renewable)  Once your passport is stamped, go to the next counter and pay R50 road levy, let customs search your car if they want to, and you are in Swaziland! 

? Visa's are not generally required from Europe, Commonwealth countries and North America. You need not declare your camera equipment.  If you don't get behind a tour bus, the whole procedure should take less than 15 minutes. The toilets at the border are sort of OK. There is fuel here, often 10[[][[]][[][%]]] cheaper in Swaziland.

? From the border, there are a few km's of frustrating roadworks until you reach Mbabane. At the second traffic light you will turn right to Manzini.  There is freeway all the way to Manzini. Be careful as you come down the steep hill below Mbabane as it has notorious bends and a high accident rate.  Continue directly through the untidy city of Manzini; try and stay in the right lane as the left is congested with taxi and bus traffic heading for the bus rank! About 40 km from Manzini, when you are close to the mountain, keep a good lookout for the major intersection to Siteki (Right turn) Also, look out for our "Mabuda B&B" green signs. Take this and after 7 kms, you will drive straight through the Foot and Mouth control line, (no need to stop, as you are entering a surveillance area.) 7 km thereafter, you're in Siteki. ? Once at the town: Past a filling station on your right, a hotel on your left, take the first right turn you are allowed to take. (The first one being a One-Way) At that turn-off, you will see the sign directing you to Mabuda. (If you get to the Hospital, you've gone much too far!)

? You pass over a stop street, and at the little cemetery, turn right, also signposted. Cross the tar road directly and onto a dirt road, (only 1km to go!) over a cattle grille, and you have arrived. The B&Bs are the thatched buildings down on your Left. Make your way to the little park home under the trees where Wits and Ina will welcome you. (If for any reason they are not there, please make your way to Mabuda house nearby.)  If at any stage you get lost, wind down your window and in your best English, ask for directions to Mabuda Farm.
