Sibuya River Camp

Tucked in a scenic indigenous forest, the eco-minded River Camp at Sibuya Game Reserve manages to immerse guests into nature without compromising comfort. Here, personal attention and world-class hospitality are guaranteed. This four-star eco-camp overlooks the banks of the Kariega River from secluded timber decks. Enjoy tranquil evenings, sitting around the campfire and listening to the sounds of the wild. Dinners are a scrumptious African style buffet hosted in the boma or on one of the expansive decks under glistening African skies. Sibuya River Camp consists of luxury tents all including a full bathroom and comfortable living space. The absence of electricity ensures that the experience is not spoiled by the noise of modern civilization. Since eco-camps are run almost entirely by solar power, there is no Wi-Fi, television, air conditioning, or electric fans, and only intermittent mobile signal, making for a truly soulful experience in nature’s magnificence. So sit back at Sibuya River Camp and relax in the lounge or on your deck and watch different wildlife wander past in the heart of the bush.

There is no question that Sibuya Game Reserve provides one of the most unique Big 5 safari experiences in South Africa. Situated in the Eastern Cape seaside village of Kenton-on-Sea, a 45-minute boat cruise takes guests to a selection of luxury eco camps along the Kariega River. Sibuya Game Reserve boasts more navigable river than any other game reserve in South Africa. The varied, sub-tropical vegetation across the landscapes and river ensure a high density of wildlife. The reserve is home to over 400 bird species and 45 species of wildlife. Big 5 sightings are frequent on game drives as are zebra, giraffe, eland, jackal, oribi, and bontebok. The team at Sibuya Game Reserve is what really makes your safari unforgettable. Your dedicated expert ranger at Sibuya River Camp will accompany you on all your game drives and even join you for dinner if you please, to share stories and find out what is on your wildlife bucket list. Sibuya is also home to Forrest Lodge, which is situated deeper into the bush and accommodates children over 12 years.
