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.
