Should you wish to travel by air, three different airlines providing flights for tourists visiting the different Kruger Park lodges to airports near Hamiltons. We will supply you with the latest information when you inquire about a visit to any of the Kruger Park lodges.

The Reserve

Being in the famous Kruger National Park, Mluwati Concession does not differ from the areas between Satara and Skukuza and Orpen and Skukuza. A safari in the concession area differs from a Kruger Park safari in that it is guided by knowledgeable rangers who know the concession and the animals that stay there. Enquire about the existence of dens and recent kills that may deliver extraordinary experiences. In cases where it is necessary, the guides may decide to drive off-road to enable tourists to get near the big five or other rare occurences. In the areas outside of the concession, the rules of the Kruger National Park safaris prevails and no off road drives are allowed. A self-drive Kruger park safari option is available, while game-drives in the concession can only be done with the lodges' vehicles and guides.

Rivers in the bush are always the places where natural open water can be found by the animals and it is therefore the presence of such rivers that determine the movements of the animals. The Nwaswitsontso River is an important river in the concession and both Hamiltons and Imbali are built on the banks of the Nwaswitsontso. The third Kruger Park lodge in this concession, Hoyo-Hoyo, was built on the banks of the Mluwati River. In all three cases, a waterhole was built on the opposite bank of the rivers, visible from the lodges, where animals like elephants, buffaloes and other animals can be seen from the main guest areas.

Lodge Features

Hamiltons Tented Camp, a Kruger Park lodge inside the boundaries of the Kruger Park, has the look and feel of an erstwhile colonial luxury african safari camp. This will appeal to tourists who read about the exploits of pioneers like Livingstone and other "big white hunters" whose adventurous and romantic tales of the bush still stir in their hearts and memories. Apart from the addition of electricity and modern transport, it is quite easy to forget the present and live for a few days in the past. For tourists less interested in history, Hamiltons offers exceptional luxury, great quisine, friendly service and wonderful safaris.

Hamiltons Camp offers a butler service in the style of the old colonial times to enhance the memories of the olden days
