We stayed in Bush Lodge and it was amazing. Only 4 lodges so never more than 8 guests. Lovely accommodation with communal space for food and drinks which they make look lovely and cosy in the evenings. Really warm swimming pool, lovely views from the deck of your lodge. Nothing to complain about here!

Game reserve
Sibuya Game Reserve was set in idyllic surroundings. The "tents" were extremely luxurious fitted with a huge comfortable bed and even a bath. There was also a lovely decking area and a double hammock. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and of a high quality. The game drives were extremely well organised and it was really special to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat.

Stunning
Just the most incredible time. Luxurious, great service and amazing game drives. Sitting in front of a log fire in your room after a day's wildlife watching is truly one of life's great pleasures. Loved this place so much. Can't think how it could be improved

Magical and inspirational safari adventure
The game drives were great, thanks Dave our ranger and guide- very knowledgeable, we saw all the animals thar we have dreamed about, all close up in just 4 drives; all we needed. The arrival by river was magical, check in staff super, the staff at the forest camp were great, super delicious food and the drinks were plentiful from a well stocked bar. Welcoming fire bbq in the evenings. The room was spacious, a tented structure on boards with excellent bedding and plumbing, all excellent and highly recommended.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft, sehr gemütlich und ruhig mit super freundlichen und fachkundigen Personal. Das Highlight von unseren Südafrika Ferien. Wir haben unsere Safaris sehr genossen, viele Tiere gesehen wobei die natürlich Privatsphäre der Tiere respektiert worden ist. Unser Ranger Ryan hat sich sehr viel Zeit und Mühe genommen uns alles genau zu erklären. Wir waren total happy und können dieses Reservat von Herzen empfehlen. Nochmals vielen Dank euch allen, ihr seit eifach super und wir werden jedem der nach Südafrika reist die River Loge empfehlen 👍😍

Das Sibuya Reserve ist fantastisch. Die Lage am Kariega-Fluss, in dem es sich prima schwimmen lässt. Unser Ranger Doug war total engagiert, er hat sich extrem gut gekümmert und war die zwei Tage unseres Aufenthaltes nur fürvuns da! Wir haben großartige Safaris gemacht und haben so viel Tiere gesehn

Fantastische Unterkunft und tolle Erlebnisse
Wir haben 3 fantastische Tage in Sibuya verbringen dürfen. Außerordentlich toller Service, einen excellenten Tourguide und eine tolle Unterkunft (das Zelt geht ganz klar Richtung Glamping). Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen. Die Touren waren perfekt durchgeführt und das Essen hervorragend. Wir waren sehr traurig, als wir nach den 3 Tagen bereits wieder abreisen mussten. Ein absolutes Muss, wenn man in dieser Gegend ist. Wir empfehlen Sibuya ohne nur eine Sekunde zu zögern weitern. Danke für drei aufregende, fantastische und unvergessliche Tage, die uns noch sehr lange in Erinnerung bleiben werden!

Wunderschöne Safari
Mit einem Boot wird man zur Lodge gefahren und schon idt man voll im Safarifieber.Die Loge selber ist toll gelegen,die Zimmer hervorragend und die Küche immer sehr schmackhaft. Unser Ranger Keagen war der totale Hammer. Hat uns viel neues gelernt und gezeigt. Der Park ist eher etwas kleiner als der unsere anderen besuchten und sicher gut in 1-2Tagen übersichtlich. Schade das eine öffentliche Strasse durch den Park geht,was vielleich auch der grund ist,dass die Löwen separat gehalten werden.Wir werden sicher wieder kommen, den der Park ist super.

Traumhaftes Zeltcamp mit Luxuszelten - wir waren begeistert, die Riverlodge war super toll, Drikon unser Ranger hat uns super betreut und sehr liebevoll große und kleine Tiere und Pflanzen erklärt und gefunden - Toll gemacht! Danke an Joy und Miles für die Betreuung ,die nicht besser hätte sein können. Alles passt hier- besser geht es nicht. Sogar Massagen haben wir bekommen. Auch toll, dass es nur 4 Zelte gibt, dadurch ist man sehr unter sich. Wir waren 3 befreundete Paare und ein sehr nettes Paar aus Schweden- eine für uns perfekte Situation. Abends am Lagerfeuer und mit Trommeln geweckt - super. Alle Tiere so nah- die Safaris lange, schon ab 5:30 Uhr morgens mit einem Stop,an dem es Kaffee und heiße Schokolade mit Amarula gab - perfekt, danach um 9 ein tolles Frühstück - was will man mehr . Lunch um 13 Uhr und dann wieder die Nachmittagssafari ab 15:30 Uhr bis 19:30 ca. manchmal auch länger- wenn man sich nicht trennen kann von den Elefanten. Dann ein tolles Abendessen, danke für alles - es war unser perfekter Urlaub. Mind. 2 Tage sind unbedingt empfehlenswert, sonst ist es zu kurz. Und wenn man es privat möchte, dann bitte das Rivercamp nehmen , denn das Forest Camp ist etwas größer etwas 20-24 Gäste. Aber auch sehr gemütlich. wir waren sehr im Glück dort.

Fantastic experiencev!!
This was realy amazing ! Perfect staff, food, and the Game Drives were amazing Very few people / cars, big areas, and newer lines and waiting. At some drives we not see any other than us 4 and our great Ranger Kent. Fantastic range of animals, and close to them.2 drives ( 2 x 3 hours pr day ) All meals amazing, and including drinks very nice This must be the perfect size of a park. They take very good care of animals and nature. We lived in River Camp, with only 4 very comfortable «tents»
