Why not immerse yourself in 1850 Swaziland by discovering the hidden treasures that are held within the
Mantenga Cultural Village
? The village represents an authentic living museum of artefacts and tradition during this time period.
Google aims to make Street View more and more comprehensive and useful by adding new and unusual locations - with everything from the top of the
world’s tallest building
in Dubai down to the
Great Barrier Reef
in Australia, there is nothing that is out of reach.
