The Mukhaya Game Reserve is one of the world’s rare reserves where you can see elephants and buffalo, as well as endangered black and white rhinos. In Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), many wild animals were overfished in the 1960s, and wild animals such as rhinos were endangered. The kingdom is reviving.
