High up in the Hluhluwe Park Hilltop is a great location with fantastic views across the hills. It has a central lodge with restaurant, bar and curio shop with the accommodation in chalets. We had 3 nights self catering, but ended up in the restaurant every night. The chalets were clean and well maintained, if a little past their prime.... More

Hiltop is one of the most unique locations in any game reserve. The views from Hiltop are beautiful. The only major let down here is the absolutely terrible service at the restaurant and bar. They are terribly under staffed. Expect to wait 20 mins for a drink, and another 20 before being able to flag down a waiter to help... More

Hilltop Camp is located in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve. We had a spacious chalet with a huge view over a large part of the reserve. The Camp is spacious with various types of houses. The interior the lodge looked fine, but is quite clear in the '70s-style'. Spacious room with flat-screen satellite TV and a kitchen. Large bedroom with two... More

The cottages was clean, well equipped and hence allowed me to relax and not worry at... More

We, four adults and four kids, stayed for two nights. The first night was in the private lodge at the Hilltop camp. This was the original game warden's lodge and it feels like you have been propelled 50 years back in Africa. It has it's own large garden and a friendly chap who looks after it. The second night was... More

I will start my review with a word of advice - keep your clothes in your bags and keep your bags zipped up. My sister in law came home with a cockroach in her bag- we all ended up spraying our bags , just in case. If possible get premises on the right hand side as you go in, as... More

As always I consulted Trip Advisor before booking Hilltop Camp. A few negatives were the service and the food. Besides the woman at the park entrance everyone else was lovely and very helpful. Travelling on the Australian dollar I thought the accommodation and facilities were great. We stayed in a Rondaval which was not only a unique experience but very... More
