8th Wonder of World could be in Swaziland

MBABANE - Malolotja and Phophonyane Nature Reserves have been listed on VirtualTou-rist, a Trip Adviser company, as a potential Eighth Wonder of the World.

They are up against attractions such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Hells Canyon and even Hollywood. Visitors to the site are able to vote for which natural wonder they want to take the eighth place and can even vote numerous times but only once each day.
Malolotja Nature Reserve encompasses over 18 000 hectares of mountain wilderness in the north-west of Swaziland.

The reserve provides protected wetland, woodland, highveld grassland and mistbelt forest habitats for a wide variety of plant and animal life.
The reserve also plays a crucial role for bird life, and is recognised as one of Southern Africa’s more important conservation areas for endangered birds.

Phophonyane is another of Swaziland’s fantastic reserves. The central feature of the reserve is the Phophonyane Falls, a series of cascades and waterfalls which stretches for three kilometres and bisects the reserve along the geologically remarkable Phophonyane Shear Zone.

Other main features of the  reserve are the dramatic python cliffs, which are formed of a large granite outcrop and the Mbevane Falls and stream, which are flanked by an impressive riverine for-est.
To vote, you can access the voting page on www.virtualtourist.com.
