Sibuya is a very special place on earth!! Even the journey by boat is an experience. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the whole team, who are incredibly great. Julie is incredibly lovely and humorous. We were spoiled the whole day, we laughed and sang a lot. The food is delicious and even a bed bottle is provided for the night. The tents are great and a special experience, the beds are super comfortable. We couldn't have imagined a better game driver for the safari than CJ. She is such a lovely person and her love for nature and the animals is palpable - she loves her work! she was able to show us and teach us a lot, has patience and a great sense of humor. It was not easy for us to say goodbye. We had a great time at Sibuya Game Reserve and can recommend it 1000% and would book there again!

We stayed in River Camp in the most beautiful tents. We adored our time there, the boat journey up the river is a wonderful start. Our game drives were fantastic and Nicolas' passion for his job and his enjoyment of working in nature was wonderful. It was the highlight of our children's holiday and they are still wearing their Sibuya hats! I'd highly recommend it for a family safari experience.

Beautiful game and the staff were fantastic. Matthew, our guide, was a pleasure to be around. He had plenty of knowledge to share and we really can’t speak highly enough of him - he was a big part of making the stay what it was. Food and general organisation ie timings etc we’re all very good. Communal area had a great feel to it and all the vehicles were clean and seemingly in decent condition. Very attentive staff.

The accommodation was great but, for the price, having stayed in plenty of game reserves, the room itself was underwhelming.

What a special time we had, we will never forget our days at Sibuya Forest Camp. The dedication and knowledge of the staff, the delicious food, the drinks, the beautiful and special location plus the wealth of wildlife we saw all contributed. Go if you can!

Wonderful game reserve, we have visited before and loved it then. Staff excellent and game drives great

Nothing to dislike

Fab accommodation and the guides were brilliant. Like coming home!

Great views. Excellent ranger Ryan has a lot of animal knowledge

All meals were low standard and buffet style. Rooms were cold. No plug points in the tents even though there’s a tea station but no kettle. Mosquito screen door came off and fell. One of the rangers sits and dines at the same table as guests which takes away the guests privacy.

Food was great. The animals.

Our overall experience was terrible, to name a couple of things: Firstly, the staff was unproffesional and awkward. Especially the guide, he tried talking the guests down. For example, he asked someone what do you do for work? Someone would answer and he would say, i hate ‘the proffesion’. And it was really intense to have to deal with him al the time, as you eat with them as well. The guides were tired all the time. He was sleeping during the Safari. We spotted the animals ourselfs (we thought we were good at it, but we did another safari at another reserve, and turns out we are not that good ;). Then the facilities, it was decent but limited. Not worth the price. For example, the water is not hot, so a warm bath is not an option. And if its raining you get a disposable poncho for the safari without sleeves. All in all its just not worth your money, there are other options which are so much better. We were so tired after this trip, we tried to make the best of it, but honestly it was a big dissapointment. Go to another accomodation. We were so happy that we booked at Botlierskop private game reserve as well, it is everything you wished for!! And the people and facilities there are lovely. They also take the care and protection of the animals very serious and there is a lot more to see!

Loved most of the things about this place. nice place to unwind and appreciate the nature around you; beautiful bushlodge rooms with amazing views, the staff were very friendly, especially our guide, who went all out to make sure we saw all 4 of the BIG FIVE and loads of other animals. I also felt unwell and they provided a paracetamol for me which was a nice touch, The chef was very good with the variety of dishes provided throwing in South African classics like pap too.

They advertise fly fishing, but they absolutely do not do it. They have no equipment nor knowledge of fly fishing. The spinning gear they gave us was very old, and one rod did not have very much line on it, so it was kind of pointless. Very disappointing as the potential for fly fishing was one of the reasons we booked this particular trip. We had access to a boat dock for an hour to cast from, but it was not the best area nor conditions. Fishing advertisements are quite misleading. The staff could benefit from training on wines, I asked for a white wine which I was given at room temp no clue it has to be chilled or brought to you on an ice bucket at least, as it is summer time. There was a Dutch family staying there as well who asked for white wine, and they were given a bottle which had collected dust. When their son opened it, we were all hit by a waft of acidic weird smell. He took one sip, and his eyes watered. Don't get me wrong, the staff immediately changed the bottle, but for the money we spent, we expect a little better service than this. I stayed clear of wine from that point.
