Most visits to Swaziland are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
Travelers are advised not to drive at night along the N4 and other isolated roads, as there is a risk of being hijacked, and livestock and unlit, parked vehicles pose additional hazards.
This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organizations for the latest travel advice: British Foreign and Commonwealth Office
