) to Mbabane with its more agreeable climate.

Mbabane has developed rapidly in recent years, and building activity is continuing. It is now a town of widely separated districts, beautiful gardens and tree-shaded streets.

The only feature of tourist interest is the Swazi Market at the south end of Allister Miller Street, the town's main shopping street. The wares offered for sale include not only agricultural produce but all the various craft products of Swaziland, including masks, basketwork and pottery.

A pleasant excursion from Mbabane is a trip up beautiful Pine Valley to the north of the town. The route follows the Umbeluzi River, passing a number of waterfalls. This is good walking and riding country, with agreeable temperatures even in summer.
