" Best safari experience ever! "
Sibuya Game Reserve
My partner and I had the pleasure of spending two nights at River Camp in April 2010. From arriving and being shown our enormous suite which looked out over the river (tented is a whole new level here - massive bed, huge freestanding bath, gorgeous shower, sofa, terrace etc etc!), to meeting our extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide Tyrone we didn't think it could get any better... and that's before we saw any animals or ate any food! The game drives were fantastic - we saw so many animals - elephants, giraffes (including some cute babies!), cheetah, lions and their cubs, numerous antelope and ostrich to name a few, and Tyrone certainly knew his stuff. Although the weather could have been better we still had great hot chocolates in the mornings and sundowners in the evenings on the drives. The food was great too - hearty breakfasts on return from the morning drive and super dinners in the evening around a large table with all the other guests. I've been lucky enough to have been on safari a few times in various countries but this was definitely the most luxurious experience I have had. For my partner it was her first time - and was definitely the highight of our trip to SA. Another friend of mine has visited previously and absolutely loved it - we'll be recommending it to anyone who is visiting SA.

Sibuya Game Reserve is a 2300 hectare, Malaria Free, Big Four reserve conveniently situated near Kenton on Sea along South Africa's Sunshine Coast.

Uniquely, guests journey by boat from Sibuya's reception in Kenton on Sea, up the stunningly beautiful Kariega River Estuary, to our tented camps situated at the water's edge. This is an offering not matched by any other game reserve in South Africa.

Breathtaking scenery and the sight of four of Africa's "Big Five" viewed against an Indian Ocean backdrop complete a truly memorable experience.

The Under Canvas Experience - Tailored for the guest who desires a genuine African Tented Camp Experience in rustic luxury

River Camp.

The smaller, more intimate River Camp has four tents, ideal for families with children, or for sole-use specialist groups. The luxury tents measure 25 square meters (300 square feet), are adjoined by an en-suite bathroom and accommodate two adults sharing in top-of-the-range king or twin beds, and sits under an all-weather roof. Decks offer views of the river or forest. Cot or camp beds are available for children sharing with adults.

Part of the purpose of a getaway is to relax!  River Camp offers ample opportunity for guests to do this, and few pastimes can be more soporific than lying on a hammock with a book, listening to the birds in the trees.

Sibuya's creative chef and his capable team take great pride in the preparation and presentation of the cuisine, which has attracted some rave reviews!   The dining experience has to be tried to be believed.   Good South African wines are served with the meals.

Forest Camp.

Perfectly situated on the banks of the Kariega River, but tucked unobtrusively away into the vegetation. Adopting a low impact model, Forest Camp's accommodation is built on expansive, slightly raised wooden decks and has long wooden walkways through pristine thicket  which allow elderly and disabled guests to move around with ease. Sibuya offers true luxury tented accommodation: each tent measures 40 square meters (450 square feet), is adjoined by a large en-suite bathroom, accommodates two adults sharing in top-of-the-range king or twin beds, and sits under an all-weather roof. Wide decks offer views of the river or forest. Cot or camp beds are available for children sharing with adults. .

A stay at Sibuya Game Reserve includes a host of different activities:

Game Drives: Game drives are normally taken in the early morning, late afternoon and after dinner. However, with small intimate camps such as ours, guests are able to arrange times to suit their requirements with their guide.

Boat Cruises: With more than 18 kms of navigable Estuary, half of which is within the reserve, boat trips are incorporated into many of our daily activities. Most game drives will begin or end with a boat trip to a distant part of the reserve.

Guided Walks: Experience the thrill of seeing Africa's animals on foot in the company of our professional guides.

Fishing: Rock, surf, river and fly fishing are all available, however guests must be in possession of a valid fishing permit (available at any Post Office).

Swimming: Swimming in the river or sea is a must on a hot summer's day. The sea temperature varies depending on the current, but generally the river is always warm (above 20 deg C).

Canoeing: Two-seater canoes are available for those wishing to experience the wonderful sounds of the African bush while silently paddling along.

Beach walks: A two or three day stay at Sibuya would not be complete without a boat trip to Kenton's idyllic beaches.
