Named for Colonel Stevenson-Hamilton, the park's first warden, the camp holds just six tents, raised on teak decks and linked to the main lodge by timber walkways through stands of old Jackalberry trees. Each tent has a private plunge pool, a slipper bath, and a Sala lounge added onto the deck with leather couches and a mini bar. Guides run two safaris a day in open Land Cruisers across the concession's mixed bushwillow woodland, tracking lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog alongside the Big Five species Kruger is known for supporting. The Hamilton's pride, an old lion group that has struggled to raise cubs in recent years, hunts the waterhole guides call King's Cauldron. A resident hippo often surfaces in the river below the tents. Breakfast and dinner are served on deck overlooking the water, with high tea between drives and a butler assigned to anticipate whatever comes next. Bush walks and massages can be arranged, and self-drive days into the wider park are an option for guests with their own vehicle. Children under eight are not permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968608337979,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/19166_2F1._signature_hamiltons_tented_camp_-_suite_exterior.jpg?v=1786526661"},{"product_id":"marloth-park-self-catering-buffel-st-4347","title":"Marloth Park, Self Catering Buffel st 4347","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet on Buffel Street in Marloth Park, this self catering house backs onto the Crocodile River, with Kruger Park spreading beyond the boundary.

The house holds two bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom: one with a king bed that rolls out onto the deck for sleeping under the stars, the other a twin room with two beds. A wooded deck runs along the front of the house, facing directly onto the park. Guests can watch animals move along the riverline from the deck without leaving the property. A 2 m splash pool sits in the garden, with an outdoor shower nearby that opens straight onto the bush. Both indoor and outdoor braai areas are fitted for grilling. The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering, and the house runs a non-smoking policy throughout. Fans are standard; air conditioning can be arranged on request. It is a plain, practical base for watching wildlife from a private deck rather than a game vehicle. Buffel Street sits within the unfenced Marloth Park reserve, where animals move freely between properties, and the boundary near the Crocodile River makes for regular sightings without any drive required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968608534587,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/366124_2F1743513072510_IMG_3103.jpg?v=1786526661"},{"product_id":"tomjachu-bush-retreat","title":"Tomjachu Bush Retreat","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet within its own game-fenced reserve in the mountains above Nelspruit, Tomjachu Bush Retreat covers 500 hectares of Lowveld bushveld, threaded with dams, ravines, koppies and open grassland. The Fillery family bought the land in 1985, when it was still farmed for tobacco and tomatoes, and their descendants run it today. It is a compact stay. Seven rooms spread across the Homestead and three cottages sleep 14 guests, with the separate Valbonne Villa taking up to 12 more. Rooms come with verandahs, fireplaces and plunge pools, and each looks out over mountain bushveld rather than a shared view. Rangers lead nature drives and bush walks in search of giraffe, zebra, kudu and mountain reedbuck, while over 270 recorded bird species keep the reserve busy at dawn. Cyclists and hikers can cover more than 15 km of marked trail without the worry of dangerous game underfoot, and two dams offer catch-and-release fishing for bass and bream. Dinner is served in the Homestead dining room, where the kitchen draws on garden produce and ingredients grown on the property, or out in the bush by firelight under open sky. Guides recount the reserve's history on evening drives, from an old Voortrekker road through the valley to the Fillery family's own tenure since the 1980s.

The forest canopy shapes the lodge's footprint, and each of the six suites takes its design cues, name, and colour palette from a different tree on the property, from the bushwillow to the wisteria. It is a compact stay. Every suite has a private plunge pool, an outside shower, and a deck facing the bush or a riverbed below. The Leadwood Suite is built for families, with two connected bedrooms and a shared day deck screened by the tree it is named for. Sabi Sand borders Kruger National Park with no fence between them, so game moves freely across both, and the reserve is known for close leopard sightings. Guests join two guided game drives a day with a FGASA-qualified guide, along with walking safaris and rhino tracking on foot. Meals are taken on the lower breakfast deck, in the Modjaji dining room, or under outdoor gazebos, built around locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and a South African wine list that includes the lodge's own Tiyani label. You can hear hippos from the deck after dark.

Each has its own deck and a private heated plunge pool. Bathrooms run to free-standing baths and double showers, some opening onto outdoor shower atriums screened by indigenous trees. The Sabi Sand is known for dense leopard sightings, and lion, elephant, buffalo and rhino turn up often enough that a single game drive can produce all five. Five waterholes ring the lodge, drawing elephant especially in the dry winter months, and the main patio looks straight over one of them. Guests take two game drives a day in vehicles built for six, with heated seats and USB charging at every row. Morning bush walks run with a ranger, tailored to what guests want to see. Between drives there is a gym, a wine cellar, a library, and massages given in the privacy of each suite.

The lodge is built low and open, with limited walls between inside and out, so a deck of connected water features gives the sense of sitting just above the river. It is the oldest of the Lion Sands lodges, recently renovated to bring in more light and space. Eight Luxury Rooms and six Superior Luxury Rooms open onto private river-view decks; the six Superior rooms are larger, with open-plan bathrooms and outdoor showers, and two are interleading for families. Three River Suites stand apart from the main lodge, each with its own deck and plunge pool for greater privacy. A two-bedroom Family River Suite adds a shared bath, deck and pool for groups travelling together.
