Eswatini
Eswatini is a small kingdom between South Africa and Mozambique: hills, reserves and very short distances. Prices resemble South Africa with cheaper rent, and the currency is pegged to the rand. The climate is mild: summer rains, a dry cool winter and noticeably fresher air in the highlands. English is official, but the job market is tiny, healthcare is weak, and anything serious is handled in South Africa.
