This lodge has allot of potential, but it is not there yet. Our guide, Mike, was fantastic. He made our trip every scent worth the money. We enjoyed his stories and company. The lodge has a few short comings that they can improve. For example the food is not 4-star quality. There are coffee and tea provided in the room,... More

In September I celebrated a special birthday and as both my children and their partners were available I decided that a good old family holiday would be the best present of all. We did a half beach, half bush holiday. I chose Sibuya for 3 nights as my "bush" option and actually celebrated my birthday there. It was fantastic! There... More

We stayed at Sibuya 4 days. We saw plenty of animals, the tents were very comfortable and well elaborated, the scenery is beautiful (near a river), the quality of service is excellent: everything is perfect. We went there with our six-year-old boy and the staff was very considerated (they fished with him, prepared him specials dishes...). The good thing about... More

The setting on Sibuya as well as the lovely hospitality and interesting river cruise, game drives and beautiful clean and understated tents (lovely cotton sheets, total privacy, perfect setting) makes it a place I will definitely be visiting again!

I had visited the Kruger a few years ago and was very impressed so I was a little suspicious when my partner booked a stay at Sibuya because he did not need to take anti-malaria tablets. I am please to report that I was impressed. The location is unusual in a river bend and two camps a short boat ride... More

After checking in at the town office, drove to camp and parked. Guide and hostess were waiting for us, boat trip a little way upstream. Our tent(luxury) was above expectations, well designed and comfortable with good amenities and secluded from other tents. On walking 20m to riverside saw rhinos, elephants and antelopes, before going to main area to embark on... More

We spent two nights in Sibuya River Camp and this stay is what we liked most during our 3-weeks journey in South Africa (and we liked a lot of places). Sibuya was us a wonderful combination of nature, game drives, food, coziness and luxury together with great staff who did everything to make our stay pleasant and unforgettable. Our room,... More

Peacefully tucked away in the Eastern Cape, surrounded by game, bush and river. Sleeping in comfortable private tents with en suite bathrooms gives you the perfect opportunity to get back to nature and escape the craziness of city living. Friendly service, great food, intelligent conversation, comfort and total relaxation. Best 3 night get away I've had.
