MLILWANE – The Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Affairs, working with the Eswatini Tourism Authority, has unveiled the 2026 Easter tourism campaign under the theme Adventure Awaits at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary.

The campaign was officially launched today by the Honourable Minister for Tourism and Environmental Affairs at the wildlife sanctuary, setting the tone for the Easter season and rallying emaSwati and visitors from across the country’s borders to explore local destinations.

Carrying the banner #AdventureAwaits, the initiative calls on travellers to look beyond traditional Easter activities. Organisers are challenging every Liswati and international visitor with a simple message: “This year, don’t just find eggs but go out and explore Nature.”
