Hlane Royal National Park is a national park in Eswatini, roughly 67 km northeast of Manzini along the MR3 road.[1] Prior to being designated a public park, it was a private royal hunting ground.[1] Hlane, meaning 'wilderness',[2] was named by King Sobhuza II.[3] It is now held in trust for the nation by His Majesty King Mswati III,[3] and is managed by Big Game Parks, a privately owned body.[4]
