Sibuya Game Reserve
This Big Five reserve is truly unique. Sibuya is the only game lodge in South Africa that is accessed solely by boat along the breathtakingly beautiful Kariega River, offering an authentic African tented safari experience. You will be collected at the river mouth, in the small town of Kenton on Sea, and your unique experience starts immediately as you gently cruise along the estuary to the game reserve 9 kilometers upstream. Once at Sibuya you can choose from a mixture of game drives, river cruises, guided bush or beach walks, or for the more relaxed there is excellent bird watching and fishing to be enjoyed. If you are feeling energetic why not try canoeing or joining a deep-sea fishing trip. However you wish to spend your time, the unequalled splendor of viewing game against the magnificent backdrop of pristine coastal forest will make for an unforgettable experience.
