“eSwantini is so beautiful” – Jamie-Lee Domburg
“There’s rural feel to it” – Thato Moshoehoe

“We arrive and I’m just looking around at this beautiful landscape” – Kuhle Adams.
When they arrive at the Silverstone Lodge, just outside Mbabane, they are welcomed in the Kingdom by Linda Nxumala and Melusi Dlamini, CEO and Communication Officer of the eSwatini Tourism Authority. The contestants are divided into two teams for challenges; Team One is Deen, Nathanael and Thato and they have to explore some of the art and culture that eSwatini has to offer. Deen meets up with two woodcarvers who teach him the craft they’ve been practising for years. Nathanael meets up with the founder of Gone Rural and found out how they use grass weaving to uplift their community and Thato meets up with one of eSwatini’s biggest musical exports – Sands.
