The mosquito situation in Swaziland, particularly in the area around Nisela Safaris, is a concern due to the presence of various mosquito species that are capable of transmitting diseases to humans. Mosquitoes are prevalent throughout the region, especially during the rainy season when breeding sites are abundant.

Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus pose a significant threat to the local population and visitors to Nisela Safaris. Malaria is the most common mosquito-borne disease in Swaziland, with transmission occurring mainly in rural areas where mosquito populations are high. Dengue fever and Zika virus have also been reported in the region, highlighting the need for proper mosquito control measures.

The government of Swaziland, in collaboration with local health authorities and international organizations, has been working to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Efforts include larviciding, insecticide spraying, and health education campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of using mosquito nets and repellents. Despite these efforts, the risk of mosquito-borne diseases remains a concern, especially during the peak mosquito season.
