Rediscover an era where the only thing more than the creatures, were the creature comforts. Historically themed along the lines of a big game hunter’s camp encompassing the bygone era of the early 1900’s, Hamiltons Tented Camp allows indulgence in pure luxury, combined with the sounds and smells of the African bush.
Situated in 10 000 hectare concession area in the Kruger National Park, Hamiltons Tented Camp offers a unique private safari experience. Six magnificent canvas tents complete with teak floorboards, mosquito nets, slipper baths, and outdoor showers are linked to the main lodge by raised timber walkways amongst ancient Jackalberry trees. The guest lounge and dining area adds to the delight of this tranquil spot overlooking the Nwatsitsonto River. Activities include game drives and Nomadic African Spa treatments. With a fine tradition of luxury in true 'Out of Africa' style, guests are assigned personal butlers, rangers and trackers in this 1930’s themed tented camp.
