Sibebe

Sibebe is a granite mountain in Eswatini, located 10 km from the capital city Mbabane. It is the second-largest monolith in the world and the largest exposed granite pluton,¹ rising 350m above the valley of the Mbuluzi River.² It is also known as 'Bald Rock'.³

The Mbabane-Mbuluzi Rotary Club organises an annual fund-raising walk up Sibebe Rock, called the Sibebe Survivor. Several thousand people take part each year.⁴

Sibebe also gives its name to a lager produced by Eswatini Beverages Ltd, called Sibebe Premium Lager.⁴
