SIBUYA GAME RESERVE

Sunshine Coast

Forest Camp
Perfectly situated on the banks of the Kariega River, but tucked unobtrusively into the indigenous bush, Forest Camp offers a blend of essential comforts and warm, charming style. Richly coloured local textiles, in shades of rust and burnt orange, are used throughout in support of the region's weaving community.

The camp, with its long wooden walkways through pristine thicket, has eight en suite tents, complete with luxury furnishings. Designed with a light footprint to protect the surrounding riverine environment, the camp affords views of game on both banks of the river and makes an ideal venue for weddings and small functions.

With no schedules and absolutely no pressure on guests to do anything other than relax, this wonderful camp combines the finest in safari luxury with fabulous service and truly memorable game experiences.

Sibuya's executive chef and his capable team have won rave reviews for the preparation and presentation of their cuisine. Top notch dining is an integral part of any visit to Sibuya with excellent South African wines served in the dining room, on picnics, or under a canopy of stars in the wonderful open air boma.

Forest Camp, as with River Camp, operates on a fully inclusive basis (i.e. including boat transfers and cruises, game drives, camp activities, meals and local refreshments - including beer and wine).

River Camp (4 double tents)
Situated on the banks of the Kariega River, this rustically luxurious tented camp will leave you with memories of a bygone era - how simple and enjoyable life used to be before all the distractions of our modern age.

All our tents, fixed on raised wooden decks, accommodate two adults sharing in one king size or two twin beds. Additional camp beds are available for young children sharing with parents. En-suite bathrooms (with hot and cold water) and mosquito netting on all doors and windows ensure that a night at Sibuya River Camp is comfortable and safe. Sibuya is Malaria Free.

The soft glow of lanterns, the water gently lapping on the boats and the sounds of the African night will be the only distractions as you reminisce in the warm embrace of the evening fire, while our friendly camp staff prepare the Finest African Fireside Cuisine.

A small intimate camp such as River Camp ensures that you are able to share the countless years of experience of our Professional Guides.

Activities...

A stay at a Sibuya River Camp 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.

Additional activities offered by arrangement and at very reasonable rates include:
Deep sea Fishing, Offshore Sightseeing and Coastal Island Cruises, Wellness Programs incorporating Aromatherapy & Reflexology, Horse Riding, Water Skiing, Cultural, Historical and Farm Tours, Golf, Tennis, Squash and Lawn Bowls.
