We were wondering if the good news of our excellent rains spread far and wide across the continent to the Summer Migrants, as many seem to have arrived earlier than usual this year... to feast on the proliferation of food perhaps?

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!

Fauna
Lion
Ella was hugely fortunate to see her very first ANTBEAR (AARDVARK) (Orycteropus afar) and during the day! This was a really special treat as they are generally extremely shy and almost exclusively nocturnal.

Team Building
We have recently started teambuilding programmes at SIBUYA for companies or conference groups and were lucky enough to host Cacadu Municipality as our first group.

While cruising up the Kariega Estuary with their guide, Chris, guests were delighted at the sight of these beautiful pale pink birds strolling through the shallows on their long graceful legs.

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.

Flora
Virtually the whole year round SIBUYA has flowers adding interest and colour to the landscape... even in the middle of winter! At the moment the forest margins and woodlands are festooned with pungently scented yellow flowers belonging to succulent creepers and shrubs, Senecio brachypodus and Senecio tamoides - CANARY CREEPER.

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.

Birding
Guests at River Camp were fascinated by a unique experience... a breeding pair of Green Wood-Hoopoes (Phoeniculus purpureus) who made their nest in a hole in a dead tree stump adjacent to the Lapa deck. Guests could literally have a "bird's eye view" of the daily proceedings.

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