Mantenga Swazi Cultural Center

On April 15th we drove to Swaziland with Sarah & Rick's family. It took about 5 1/2 hours from Johannesburg with a border crossing. We went to the Swazi Cultural Center where we saw the Swazi's traditional huts (cool in summer and warm in winter; made of reeds and grasses and tied with handmade rope). We also saw nearby Mantenga Falls. After our village tour we attended a performance with traditional dances and music. It was a fascinating look at another culture and people.
