With thousands of people attending the festival, many of them coming from outside Eswatini, the borders can be heavy with traffic. We strongly advise planning your trip to arrive on Thursday, or at least early in the day on Friday, to avoid long waits at Immigration, especially at Ngwenya/Oshoek.

What you need for entry:

You will need a valid passport to enter Eswatini. You may also require an entry visa. Please check with your Embassy or the Kingdom of Eswatini Tourism Authority Website Visa Guide for visa requirements.
