Accommodation

The Under Canvas Experience ...

Tailored for the guest who desires a genuine African Tented Camp Experience in rustic luxury.

River Camp (4 double tents)
Situated on the banks of the Kariega River, this rustically luxurious tented camp will leave you with memories of a bygone era - how simple and enjoyable life used to be before all the distractions of our modern age.

All our tents, fixed on raised wooden decks, accommodate two adults sharing in one king size or two twin beds. Additional camp beds are available for young children sharing with parents. En-suite bathrooms (with hot and cold water) and mosquito netting on all doors and windows ensure that a night at Sibuya River Camp is comfortable and safe. Sibuya is Malaria Free.

To truly appreciate the beauty of Sibuya and enjoy its many sights and activities, we recommend a minimum two-night stay.

Our Under Canvas experience includes all boat trips, game drives, meals and drinks (incl. beer and wine).

Surroundings

The lush subtropical East Cape Valley Bushveld, Grasslands and Coastal Forests play host to one of the highest densities of wildlife on the continent ensuring one of the best game viewing experiences in Africa. Breathtaking scenery and the sight of four of Africa’s "Big Five" viewed against an Indian Ocean backdrop complete a truly memorable experience.

Bontebok and Oribi, two of the rarest antelope species in South Africa, and a host of other animals including Elephant, Rhino, Giraffe, Buffalo and Zebra are just a few of the 40 African mammals you are likely to see. For the bird lover more than 300 bird species, including the exceptionally rare Narina Trogan, will deliver hours of pleasure. Otters and crabs frequent the river banks while seals and turtles make occasional forays upriver to the tented camps.
