The few non excellent reviewers must have had real bad luck as this place is an old world, colonial jewel. We LOVED our time here; the food, the hospitality, the serenity, the animals, the birds, the flora, Joe our guide and Lisle the manager... More

We wanted to have a 1st Kruger experience but as close to nature as possible. We were recommended Hamiltons Tented Camp and what a great recommendation that was. The entire set up is very small with only 6 tents in the camp with a central lodge/ tent to relax and enjoy meals, drinks and english high tea! The camp is... More

Thank you for the beautiful feedback. Hamiltons Tented Camp is luxury personified with uncompromising elegance and service. It offers views of the Nwatswitsonto River and superb game viewing. Our experienced and informative rangers are always excited to share their knowledge of the largest animal to the tiny dung beetle. After an amazing day out in the park, it is always... More

Wonderful experience within the heart of the Kruger National Park. Feeling very close to nature as the tented camp is nestled right next to the river bed, amongst the trees. With the residing hippo and crocodile keeping you company on the river bed, thirsty elephant coming down for and drink was always a treat. Staff is extremely professional, but their... More

We left Hamilton's two days ago and miss it terribly. It was the most incredible experience made all the more memorable by our wonderful guide Steff, whose enthusiasm and love for the bush was very catching and who taught us so much: he is passionate about what he does and wants you, as a guest, to be involved in searching...

Hamilton's is a fantastic experience. From the moment of arrival the staff do everything to make your stay special. The location is incredible, rooms comfortable and clean and food was excellent consistently over our three nights. Other parks might make it easier to see the animals due to the bush growth but if you are fortunate enough to get a... More

A most exquisite setting as one is almost perched over the river. One afternoon we watched elephants totally submerging themselves in the water below us as the hippos looked on.The camp staff are delightful, warm, sweet and obliging. The rooms are artistically furnished in a characterful out-of-Africa style. Rooms are on the small side compared to other private game parks... More

This "camp" is amazing. You feel as if you have stepped back in time to 1880. The staff is welcoming and charming, the food is delicious and the extra touches such as coctails at sunset in the park make it a special experience. Never thought we would have such a luxurious room/tent with a wonderful view over the river (... More
