Swaziland, the land of ..

forests, good tarmac roads, mountains, national parks, casinos, music, dance, the king, also poligamy and nowadays also popular MCP*... Also the land of very kind people. It looks very organized country but also very traditional on the other side. It's size can be compared to Slovenia. It is also the last african political system in Africa like I was told and if understood correctly?
*MCP = Multiple Concurrent Partnerships = ... = ....

THE ROAD
From Maputo (Mozambique) I am riding cca 70 kms southwest in direction of Swaziland and SA borders. I decide to turn to Vila Goba. After Vila Goba I enter the land of Swaziland. People on the border are really friendly and organized. I have no problems with documents for motorbike. I decide not to drive to some city too soon so I turn right at the sign for the first national park. I ride for 20 kms on a dirt road and I see impalas, zebras, nyala...s jumping accross the road and also warthogs (kind of big asymetric shaped pig-dog:) After that I enter another national park and I see a girrafa from very close. After that I stop for the night at Hlana Royal National Park. I sleep in my tent while elephants are walking just in the neighbourhood.
