    Travelers 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.

    HIV/AIDS prevalence is high - around 43% of the local population are infected.

    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:

    Health Care
    Although medical facilities are generally limited in Swaziland, Mbabame Clinic is well-equipped to deal with minor problems.

In emergency cases, where specialized treatment is required, the patient may be transported to a South African hospital. Health insurance is recommended. Personal medications may be brought into the country, but a doctor’s note is advisable in case of questioning by authorities.

    Note
    * A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travelers arriving from an infected area.
