Sibuya’s Bush Lodge is set in a pristine wilderness paradise only minutes from the main reserve. After departing from Kenton and enjoying our unique boat cruise up the Kariega Estuary, Bush Lodge guests enjoy lunch in the Reserve before a short transfer by game vehicle takes them to the Lodge.
Spacious viewing decks surround the main lodge which overlooks the wooded valley below. A sparkling swimming pool is an inviting alternative to the Kariega River Estuary and is an ideal place to relax and refresh between game drives or other activities.
For those guests wanting a little more luxury and comfort than our tented River and Forest Camps, this is the ideal alternative.
Bush Lodge is only available to adults and children over the age of 12.
This stylish bush destination, which mushrooms from an indigenous forested valley, is a classic thatched 4 – Star Lodge built to 5 – Star standards with all the luxury and modern amenities to match.

Sibuya Bush Lodge Accommodation
Luxury Suites
Bush Lodge has four secluded luxury thatched suites. These stunningly appointed units are private, spacious and fully en-suite with outside and inside showers and private sun/viewing decks. Each room has a bar fridge, tea/coffee station and for hot summer nights, air-conditioning. A wood-burning fireplace adds a cosy touch for the cooler winter evenings. Comfortable King-size or Queen-size beds with fine 100% percale linen ensure a wonderful restful night.
Sibuya Bush Lodge Activities
The most popular activities on Sibuya are the game drives and walks, but many guests also take advantage of the opportunity to try their hand at fishing from the camp jetties. Canoes at the camps are regularly used by guests, keen paddlers and novices alike. Birding and game viewing on horseback is a wonderful way to experience nature at close quarters. Birdsong provides the perfect background sound while enjoying a massage on the deck of one of our luxurious tents. Excursions off the reserve can also be arranged for activities such as golf, horse-riding (on the beach), deep-sea fishing or historical tours of the area.
Bespoke packages can be arranged for birding enthusiasts and nature lovers who would like to learn more about the environment, guiding and tracking skills.
Specialist Bird Guide
We know a birding holiday is not just about where you go, it’s who you go with – our birding safaris are led by Mike Pearson who has been involved with wildlife conservation and birding for over 30 years in various different fields – a lifetime’s experience birding in Southern Africa.
For a birding safari that will exceed your expectations and be highly rewarding – with Mike Pearson as your host and specialist birding guide, we hope to achieve this.
Bird Watching
For the avid birder, few destinations can offer anything close to the very special experience that Sibuya visitors enjoy.
Coastal, riverine, forest, savannah and a huge host of migrant birds add to compile an impressive list that approaches 400 species, and covers such a variety of birds and habitats as to be like visiting three or four destinations at the same time.
Take a boat or canoe up the estuary to search for some of the 6 varieties of local kingfisher. Or head downstream to the beach to see the multitude of waders, terns and gulls. A walk in the pristine thicket forest is the best way to see the shy Narina Trogon and every game drive reveals a host of raptors from the common buzzards to the more rare Bateleur, Crowned or Fish eagles. Night drives are made special by the numbers and varieties of owls and nightjars caught in the spot light.
Sibuya Bush Lodge Wedding & Events
Sibuya provides an idyllic setting for small intimate weddings of up to 100 people. A total of 27 adults and 8 children can be accommodated on the reserve. Additional guests can choose from several B&Bs in nearby Kenton-on-Sea.
Various packages are available which include floral decorations, table décor, entertainment, table gifts, photographer, local beers, soft drinks, spirits, house wines and Methode Cap Classique, choice of wedding menu’s and special honeymoon turndown.
