The Kingdom of Eswatini

by Steve Hall, Jen Cowie

This book features outstanding photographs of the most colourful, traditional festivals of the Kingdom of Eswatini as well as insightful images of everyday life, people, animals and landscapes. Steve Hall's photographs illustrate a passionate love of the culture of emaSwati as well as a celebration and respect for day to day life and industry. The images are evocative and compelling, allowing the viewer an enticing glimpse into the hearts, lives and ceremonies of the Kingdom of Eswatini. 

While Eswatini has a number of urban areas and many modern amenities and facilities, the focus of this book is to document the natural beauty of the country, key cultural celebrations and the everyday life of Eswatini's rural people.

Despite its size, the Kingdom of Eswatini is rich in natural habitat and landscapes. As a result, it is home to a large variety of wildlife and plants, but its real wealth lies in the people.
