when using ampersand (&), is it correct to use it this way
EG -Swaziland
& Krugeror
Swaziland &
Krugerso should it be at the end of the first line, or begining of 2nd line? or are there just no rules for this?

what looks best?

well, it looks nicer the top way.
I think it depends on the length of the words.I'd follow the same rules you do for ragging, ie bring down any short words to they don't look like they're hanging.

- Do you have text before Swaziland?lele
- no, its a title, however i think now this is a copywritters error as it should be the word AND not & in this caseantoine_101

Its definitely a visual thing, in this case the top looks better but as Baskerville said you need to take into consideration the length of the words

I assume this is a place name.
If not you'd never use an ampersand as a conjunction in copy anyway, you'd always use 'and'If it is for a wordmark then I would go with
Swaziland & Kruger
or
Swaziland
& Kruger- its a title for a holiday tour. i think its a copy error, so im going to change the '&' for 'and'antoine_101
