A 9-km boat ride along the Kariega River provides the only access to malaria-free Sibuya Game Reserve, set in the forest. It offers Big Five game drives, river cruises and tented accommodation.

With a deck overlooking the river or forest, the spacious tents are in 2 separate camps. Each has luxury bedding, an all-weather roof and an African-themed private bathroom with free-standing bath. Glass doors open onto a wooden deck. The secluded suites are located at the Bush Lodge and are fully en-suite with outside and inside showers and private sun viewing decks.

Breakfast is served daily and lunch and dinner can be taken in each camp’s river-view restaurant. The river can be heard on evenings spent around the campfire.

Birdwatching, bushwalking and fishing are available, and canoes can be rented. Off-site activities including golf and horseriding on the beach.

Free secure parking is provided at Sibuya Game Reserve and Lodge’s check-in location in Kenton-on-Sea. A shuttle can be requested from Port Elizabeth Airport, around a 2-hour drive away.
