How to get there from Jhb

The resort is 4 hours from Johannesburg by road. Follow the N1 North, then take the turn-off onto the N4 towards Witbank. Pass Witbank and Middelburg, and take the turnoff towards Carolina. After Carolina turn right to Mbabane/Oshoek then turn left at the T-Junction towards Mbabne / Warburton. This road leads directly to the Oshoek Border Post (Passports required). The road past the border leads directly into Mbabane, and to the right, a directional board indicates the route to the Royal Swazi Sun Valley Resort.

Following in the great SAGA tradition of hosting conferences in exotic African venues, the 11th SAGA Conference will be held at The Royal Swazi Spa, Swaziland.

This world-renowned resort has a graciousness that is immediately apparent from the winding tree lined approach to the elegant sweeping staircase in the entrance hall.

Guests have the facilities of the entire Royal Swazi Spa Valley Resort at their disposal. The limitless leisure and sporting facilities will keep even the most active busy.

The Royal Kingdom of Swaziland has a history of tradition and culture that pervades the land and infuses the Valley. The warmth of the noble Swazi people is illustrated by their amiable welcome.

The Spa at the Royal Swazi Spa is a haven of health & beauty offering an extraordinary range of spa treatments including Swedish massage, shiatsu, body wraps, exfoliation, hydrotherapy, facials, manicures and pedicures.

Situated at the Royal Swazi Spa Hotel there are tables and slots machines set in an intimate casino that provides wonderful hours of playing enjoyment.

The spectacular 18-hole championship course at the Royal Swazi Spa Country Club is one of the most scenically rewarding to be found anywhere in the world, with a different mountainscape to be enjoyed from every tee and green.

In short, The Royal Swazi Spa is a destination for individual holiday makers, sport groups or conference delegates alike where each individual will taste the authentic mystique and culture of the Kingdom.
