Eswatini, officially the Kingdom of Eswatini and formerly named Swaziland; officially renamed in 2018), is a landlocked
country in Southern Africa. It is bordered by Mozambique to its northeast and South Africa to its
north, west, south, and southeast. At no more than
200 kilometres (120 mi) north to south and 130 kilometres (81 mi) east to west, Eswatini is one of the smallest countries in Africa; despite this, its climate and topography are diverse, ranging from a cool and mountainous highveld to a
hot and dry lowveld.
