More on Sibebe Survivor

The Sibebe Survivor is an annual scenic walk/run to the top of one of the world’s largest granite monoliths, “Sibebe Rock” in Mbuluzi. Now into our eighth year the event is continuously growing and we thank our sponsors who are growing their sponsorship as well.

The route is from Mbuluzi High School (plenty of parking) where the walkers will start. The route climbs up the hills to a plateau with the spectacular views of Mbabane and surrounding areas. The return journey has been reduced, with a shorter route to the Pine Valley road.
