Incwala

This is one of Eswatini’s most important cultural event that has lasted for hundreds of years, as such, it is one of the last remaining illustrations of what was previously common practice in some African countries. It is a ‘first fruits festival’ and is about celebrating kingship, cleansing and renewal. Every liSwati is welcome to take part in the Incwala ceremony. Spectators and visitors interested in the Kingdom’s culture are always welcome. The event takes place around the last week of December, nonetheless, dates for the event are released relatively close to the time of the festival.
