Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Swaziland, especially during the rainy season when stagnant water provides ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects. The Happy Valley Hotel, located in the Ezulwini Valley, is no exception to the mosquito problem that plagues the region.

Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever are a concern in Swaziland, and visitors to the Happy Valley Hotel are advised to take precautions to avoid being bitten. Malaria, in particular, poses a significant risk in the country, with certain areas being more prone to outbreaks than others.

The Happy Valley Hotel takes measures to control the mosquito population on its premises, including regular fumigation and the use of mosquito nets in rooms. However, guests are encouraged to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants to protect themselves from mosquito bites, especially during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
