Swaziland Getting Around

By CarGetting Around by Road

The road system is largely well developed, although there is little street lighting. The main road from east to west is the MR3. Some roads are winding and roads can be rough in the bush. Traffic drives on the left.

Bus: There are numerous (not always entirely safe) buses connecting the different parts of the country, including non-stop buses. Minibuses run shorter routes at slightly higher prices than the buses.

Car hire: There are a number of international car hire companies in Swaziland.

Regulations: The maximum speed limit is 80kph (50mph) on the open road, and 60kph (37mph) in areas that are built-up.

Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required; or domestic licence (with photo ID).
