As a result of the extremely wet Spring, there are a good variety of aquatic birds in the reserve enjoying the large expanses of water and abundant supply of food.

Flora
Sibuya Game Reserve
At all times of the year there are flowers blooming at SIBUYA. During October the COAST CORAL - TREES (Erythrina caffra) were spectacular with their rich vermillion flowers attracting birds and animals alike. Nick even spotted a BUSHBUCK doe (Tragelaphus scriptus)munching on some flowers which had fallen to the ground.

An important new topographical feature has appeared on "our" stretch of the Kariega River as a result of the flood... In fact the renowned "FIGURE OF EIGHT" - the signature scene on our SIBUYA BROCHURE will never be the same again...

The rains came and came down some more! The heavens literally opened! We had our entire usual yearly rainfall and more over a couple of days!

Brett was rescued as a pup when he was washed up on one of the local beaches. He was then hand-reared and released back into his natural environment.

Luxury Accommodation
Sibuya Game Reserve
Winter this year seems to have been colder in bursts than usual! Heavy snowfalls on the mountains in the hinterland have caused us to shiver on occasion as icy winds from the north have sent us scurrying to grab our jackets. On colder nights, guests in RIVER CAMP have enjoyed the luxurious warmth of the new fireplaces in their cosy tents.

Truly spectacular at the moment and especially where the two are intertwined, are literally banks of sky-blue Plumbago and mauve Morning Glory.

Birding
Sibuya Game Reserve
The most noteworthy sighting during early December was by our newly arrived guide, Chris Ovens. While out with his guests, he spotted a raptor without a tail and wondered how this had happened. Luckily he had his camera handy and took a photograph because he was not sure of what he was seeing, only having arrived from up north a day or two before, he was not familiar with our local birds. Checking facts later, he was amazed to note that the bird was a BATELEUR (Terathopius ecaudatus) and indeed a juvenile but way beyond its “normal” range!

Herons are common at SIBUYA & may therefore be overlooked but they are a wonderful sight as they stalk regally across the landscape or pose for long minutes with their snake-like neck poised at the ready for the kill. Perfect, graceful specimens for the avid photographer!

Vuvuzela
18 guests & 3 rangers are sitting around the fire in the boma area in Forest Camp, enjoying a braai evening, when all of a sudden, a loud vuvuzela is heard…
