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!

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.

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.

Lovely Place in the Bush
The facilities were excellent. From the greeting to the departure the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The game drives were excellent and Wes was a great host and guide. The food was excellent. Enjoyed the quiet evenings in the lounge area just relaxing and observing the animals. Would highly recommend the lodge for a great time in the bush.

Everything Exceeded Expectations
The property, staff, food, and game drives all exceeded expectations! Big five were spotted in the first 24 hours and the overall amount of game sightings were impressive. Having worked for the Walt Disney Companies I am always very critical of staff performance and attention to detail at properties and Hamiltons nailed everything. The manager, Ben, went above and beyond for my wife and I. Went out of his way to personally drive us 2.5 hours each way to a doctor when my wife was ill and on a Sunday at that. Ben was 10 stars out of a possible 5. The rest of the staff including our guides Wes & Simon were exemplary as well. Only disappointing part is the fact that I live in the US and can not return more frequently!
