Hamiltons Tented Camp

Magical, wonderful, once in a lifetime experience. Definitely left my heart there! Beautiful accommodation with walkways connecting tents with major areas which was very safe from anything you may encounter on the ground! The staff could not do enough for you and are very attentive. Thomas and Daniel excellent managers who are at pains to ensure your comfort and enjoyment at all times! Considering this camp is in the middle of nowhere, the food was excellent , good quality and plenty of opportunity to eat throughout the day! We saw so many animals come and drink at the waterhole from our tent. It’s not really a tent but a wooden structure with a canvas roof luxuriously fitted out! The description of tented camp does not do it justice as I would not have stayed in the bush under canvas as it is generally considered! So quiet with judt the noise of the animals and birds. Game drives - we saw far more than we anticipated even Rhino! Our guide Monet was amazing and very knowledgeable about everything in the bush! Really lovely guy who really made this experience so unforgettable - thank you! We would highly recommend this accommodation and experience!

We stayed at Hamiltons for 6 nights in mid November 25. The whole experience was excellent in every respect. The location is deep in the Kruger and certainly feels it given the absence of fencing and almost permanent presence of grazing animals in the grounds. The Camp fabric has an authentic feel, supported by an excellent location overlooking an active water hole. We were lucky enough to have periods with multiple species including elephant, giraffe, hippo etc. just beyond our balcony making for some great photos. The game drives were similarly excellent and we were lucky enough to have a superb ranger in Harley (aka Hali) with us throughout our stay. Hali went above and beyond to get us some brilliant game sightings. A big shout out as well to the excellent staff - too many to name - who were genuinely lovely and really made the time in Camp very enjoyable. Finally, the food was of a really high standard, especially considering the location and thanks to the chefs for some great meals. Overall a great experience at Hamilton’s, which we would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hamiltons, everything was perfect from arrival to departure. The staff were all amazing, so friendly and welcoming; nothing was ever too much trouble. The tented lodges are beautiful and spacious. Lots of lovely little touches and attention to detail. Food was incredible (and plentiful!) We were so lucky to experience some incredible sights on our game drives. Our guide, Maynard, was so knowledgeable!

Super well taken care of when we were here, with all meals provided and sufficient rest time in between game drives. Highlight of the stay was definitely the game drives where we had a super experienced safari guide, Nicolas (we managed to see 4/5 of the Big Fives with him whooo). During the game drives, the hotel is connected via the radio (?) with two other hotels so that they can share intel as soon as they spot an interesting animal/sighting. You can also see many of the animals from the rooms. Food was delicious and the staff provided great service. Room is super clean and housekeeping was excellent. Do expect some insects here and there as you’re in the wild ;) Room for improvement: - Although there was a walkie talkie in the room, we were not able to reach the front desk with it. And we only realized it was because the front desk had their walkie talkie silenced (?). For the guests’ safety, it would be better if the walkie talkies could successfully connect us to the front desk in case of any emergencies esp at night. - The outdoor showers had no blinds and was super cold especially at night, would be great for guests’ privacy if blinds can be installed. - For a five-stars lodge, we felt that the standard of staff service could be improved. For example, the staff did not proactively check on the guests for refills of coffee/tea/orange juice during the breakfasts, which is quite normal for five-stars accomodations Overall still a very enjoyable stay here and we would highly recommend this place :)

We spent 3 nights here as part of a package via Luxury Escapes and were very impressed. The property is very private and has just 6 tented suites, so a maximum of 12 guests. The rooms were great, very comfortable beds, cosy outdoor deck area and I loved the outdoor shower. 3 meals a day plus morning coffee and afternoon tea included, very high quality food, we enjoyed every meal. 2 game drives per day in the morning and evening with very knowledgeable guides. We were very lucky and saw the big 5 plus many others during our stay. Kruger and Hamiltons exceeded all of my expectations, I would definitely recommend.

Coming to Safari was always a bucket list item for me, and Hamitons provided a great experience to my time in Kruger. Everything was perfect! The food was incredible. I think I gained 5 pounds! The safari adventures, both early morning and later afternoon, were well done by a very knowledgeable person (thanks, Kingsley). Our Tent (room) was comfortable living. The "boardwalk to this location was interesting! Everything was well done from start to finish. I would not hesitate to come back again to Hamiltons. Thanks, Hamiltons, for a great time!

My girlfriend and I stayed here in late November over my birthday.||Upon arrival we were greeted by the Manager Thomas and further welcomed by all the staff.||The entire trip my partner and I were addressed by first name and treated as though we were royals!||Absolutely top notch from start to finish. The facilities, the service, the food, the game drives - absolutely faultless.||A true credit to Thomas, Danny and their team…||An absolute must-visit if you’re holidaying in Kruger.

This is a truly elegant, stunning lodge with gourmet meals, excellent service and an old world atmosphere. Candlelight dinners on the verandah with linen tablecloths and vases of roses. A river in front of you and animals coming and going all day to the waterhole. An elevated walkway passing elephants, giraffe and antelope on your way to your room. Exquisite and highly recommended.
