Mosquitoes are a common issue in Swaziland, particularly at Shewula Mountain Camp. The warm and humid climate provides the perfect breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance, but they also pose a serious health risk as carriers of various diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus.

Due to the prevalence of mosquitoes in Swaziland, residents and visitors alike need to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites. This includes using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothing, and sleeping under mosquito nets. Additionally, it is important to eliminate standing water around living areas, as this is where mosquitoes breed.

At Shewula Mountain Camp, the mosquito situation can be particularly challenging due to its location in a rural, wooded area. The camp is surrounded by lush vegetation and bodies of water, making it an ideal habitat for mosquitoes. Visitors to the camp should be aware of the increased risk of mosquito-borne diseases and take appropriate measures to prevent bites.
