Hamiltons is s a tented camp and the rooms were very large and comfortable. They fed us well, and our Safari guide Harley was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were in tent 1 which had the best view of the river and animal crossing. We travelled with 4 people and we all enjoyed our stay very much.

We had an amazing time at Hamilton’s! Since it sits next to a seasonal river, we saw so many animals right at the property when they came out to drink. Being in a private concession also meant no crowds during our game drives. The food and service was impeccable! Every meal was meticulously prepared. We loved it so much we ended up staying an extra night! The staff was so helpful with arrangements to reschedule our flight and transportation. The service was excellent, it’s no wonder Hamilton’s is an award winning place! Highly recommend!

The riverfront location was stunning and teeming with wildlife. We saw hippos, elephants, baboons and even lions right in the camp, and every meal was delightful under the shade of the big tree. Our lodging felt palatial, with our own plunge pool, outdoor deck and cabana, unlimited bar fridge, and total privacy. The service was outstanding in every respect, Ron and Louis were our butlers and spoiled us with attention. Nick was our amazing guide, and helped us spot baby lions at a fresh kill, hyenas and all kinds of wildlife and birds, not to mention his great sense of humor and superb sundowner cocktails. The experience was “once in a lifetime” but I can’t wait to return again!

Bien

Le lodge est superbement situé au bord de la rivière Nwaswitdontso, Les repas se prennent sur une vaste terrasse surplombant la rivière avec vue sur des hippopotames faisant leurs ablutions. On accède aux chambres par un pont en bois surélevé qui contribue à une immersion dans l’ambiance Out of Africa. Les chambres sont spacieuses, et bénéficient d’une piscine privée sur terrasse extérieure, et d’une douche et baignoire avec vue sur la rivière. C’est beau et romantique. Mais certains points font que l’on reste un peu sur sa faim et que le prix semble un peu trop élevé en comparaison avec d’autres lodges, y compris à Sabie Sands. En effet, la nourriture est assez moyenne, et il faut le dire et l’ambiance générale assez froide et impersonnelle. De plus, peut-être par malchance, ou du fait que le Lodge n’avait qu’un seul véhicule pour les safaris et que notre ranger n’avait visiblement pas de contacts avec les rangers des lodges voisins, nos 2 Game Drives se sont transformés en 2 balades en 4x4 dans le bush sans apercevoir la queue d’un léopard, d’un lion, d’une hyène …

Ultimate Wildlife stay-Hamiltons

Johan and Ben with all the staff welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. On entry we had welcome drinks and snacks on offer. Shortly to depart for a night drive whom our private game driver Nicholas was so informative and eager to go the extra mile. To the butlers Jan and Louis who would literally get upset should we beat them to top up our own drinks. To the chef that made scrumptious food and kept us well fed. Thank you for making our honeymoon the very best and grateful to have met you all. See you Hamiltons...soon, very soon!

Nice Lodge

Service was excellent, food was delicious, room was beautiful and comfortable. We were disappointed in the guided safari drives however. We had just come from another lodge where the guide had shared so much information about animal behaviors, flora, the ecosystem, etc. We learned so much. Whereas these drives seemed to be just looking to check certain animals off a list. We barely got any information and while it was exciting to see lions, we stayed watching them too long, which I didn’t even know was possible but it is. We watched them for a wonderful, long time then drove away to have snacks and then drove back and just watched them some more - when the first viewing was definitely long and sufficient. It felt like we missed other things to see.

The rave reviews from other travellers are accurate - this place is amazing. The service was friendly and warm, the food was excellent, the game drives were not only interesting, but fun and the rooms (more like exotic suites, really) are romantic and beautifully appointed. We absolutely loved our stay here.

One of the reasons why we chose Hamilton’s is the unique style of the whole camp which looked exactly like on the photos. The rooms have stupendous views, are really tidy and luxurious. Since the camp is located in the middle of the bush, animals are always close to the camp. It is an amazing experience to sit on the terrace and see animals walking by. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our guide on the Safaris was great and we saw a lot of different animals. We loved everything. Highly recommended!

Authentic & Old World Charm Safari Lodge

Authentic and "old world charm" lodge in Kruger Park with a fantastic view on a frequently visited waterhole. From the balcony of our beautiful 'Out of Africa' style tent (tent 1) we saw many animals wander by and at night we heard the Lions roar. Hamilton's also provided us a great bush experience, our ranger knew all the good animal spots and was very knowledgeable. We spotted the big 5 in one day! The staff and the rangers were all very friendly and with the lodge only having 6 tents it had a very personal touch. Our only feedback would be the Food. We looked forward to eat South African cuisine and were slightly disappointed when we got teriyaki salmon and schrimp pasta, these dishes were also overcooked and therefore not very tasty. We also realized that the chef was running out of stock on Monday, we no longer received fresh orange juice at breakfast, no fresh fruit and the leftover tomato soup of Sunday night became the chicken sauce of Monday night. We really don't expect a fancy dinner in Kruger, but we would have been a lot happier with a simple braai or something more South African. Also, this would also be more eco-friendly than importing non-local fish.
