The shortest way was to cross Swaziland which seemed interesting as they have some National Parks and have still a lot of traditional ceremonies. Unfortunately we didn't have to much to stop for all these attractions. First we arrived in front of a closed gate. Indeed, the border opens only between 7.00 AM and 6.00PM so we had to wait for a few minutes. As European we aren't used to go through customs anymore and after filling and receiving about ten papers, getting five stamps and paying 50 ZAR for the car we finally were in Swaziland. The drive through was pleasant but we didn't see too many things (looots of sugar canes!). About four hours later we arrived at the other side of the country and went through the Lavumisa Border control (which went faster and free :-)).
We arrived finally at Amangwane Camp in Kosi Bay around 3.00PM. We just took the time to go through our stuff in our hut and went to see the bay and estuary. The landscape is wonderful and seeing all these fishing traps in the lake was impressive and interesting. It is worth stopping at this place.
We had booked dinner and breakfast. These two meals were really good and we were treated as kings by our hosts. It's really a place I would recommend.
We were supposed to do some snorkeling and kayaking as the place is known for but the heavy rain changed our plans and we headed off to St-Lucia.
