4-Day Sibuya River Safari & Big Five by Boat

Arrival, River Cruise & Afternoon Game Drive

Your private driver meets you at Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) airport for the scenic drive along the Sunshine Coast to Kenton-on-Sea, about 1 hour 45 minutes. At Sibuya's riverside reception you leave the road behind and board the boat for the cruise up the Kariega Estuary, watching for fish eagles and kingfishers as the banks grow wilder. After lunch in camp and time to settle into your tent, head out, if you arrive in time, on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, toasting the sunset in the bush before dinner around the boma fire.

Big Five Drives & Canoeing

Wake to coffee and birdsong before an early-morning game drive, when the reserve's lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo are most active. Back in camp for a hearty brunch, the middle of the day is yours: paddle a canoe along the quiet estuary, try your hand at fishing, or simply doze on your deck to the sound of the river. Late in the afternoon your ranger takes you out again on a sundowner game drive, then the lanterns are lit for dinner under the stars.

River & Bush Safari

Another early start rewards you with the soft light and fresh tracks of an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle. After breakfast, enjoy a guided bush or beach walk, a lazy river cruise in search of birds and otters, or quiet hours in your forest tent. Sibuya has more navigable river than almost any reserve in the country, so the water is never far away. In the late afternoon, set off on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, with sundowners in the bush, and end the evening sharing the day's sightings around the fire.

Morning Drive & Return to Port Elizabeth

Make the most of your final morning with an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle, while the bush is cool and the animals are on the move. Return to camp for breakfast and a last look across the estuary, then board the boat for the cruise back down the Kariega River to Kenton-on-Sea. Your private driver is waiting for the return journey to Port Elizabeth airport, where your safari ends, with memories of a reserve you reached by water and will never forget.
