Itinerary

Day 1: Johannesburg to Hamilton Tented Camp

Your journey begins with a scheduled flight from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit Airport. Upon arrival, you will be warmly greeted for a private transfer to Hamiltons Tented Camp. As one of the first private concessions in the Kruger National Park, Mluwati has worked tirelessly to ensure the sustainability of this pristine wilderness that, for over 100 years, has been a sanctuary for over 114 reptiles, 34 amphibians, and 147 mammal species, including Africa’s Big Five.

Enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience will be unique.

Settle into your luxury elevated tented suite with sumptuous spaces that have picture windows and spacious timber decks from which one can enjoy the riverine forest positioning.

In the afternoon, you will head out with your guide and tracker for a game drive through the reserve in search of wildlife, including the Big 5. Expect an uninterrupted game-viewing experience in an untouched African wilderness. Arrive back at the lodge in time to freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Day 2: Kruger National Park Game Drives & Relaxation

An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the magpie shrike, and see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the savannah plains. A safari at Hamiltons Tented Camp will reveal new scents, curious sounds, and the beauty of an extraordinary African landscape to delight your senses.

Accompanied by your private guide, onboard the powerful open 4×4 Land Cruiser vehicle, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the one hundred square kilometres private concession area within the Kruger National Park. Experience the inimitable thrills of a safari inside the National Park in pursuit of the legendary “Big Seven” species that call our concession home. If you would like the unrivalled experience of discovering the magnificent Kruger National Park on foot, or would like to spend time focusing on the smaller things out in the bush, our guiding team will be on hand to ensure that we provide you with an unforgettable wildlife experience.

Relaxation can be spent around the pool or enjoying a relaxing and soothing massage with blended aromatherapy oils of ylang-ylang, cedarwood, and vanilla to soothe your soul while overlooking the African bush from the comfort of your deck.

Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return back to the lodge to enjoy dinner and reminisce about the day’s sightings.
