SIBUYA means “The Return of the Animals” and we take our commitment towards this beautiful piece of Nature and its inhabitants seriously. No matter how small or large, water-or land based, animals are the center of our attention and we try our best to protect them and their natural habitat.
Our newly established Eco Volunteering Conservation Program is focusing an impactful rescue/anti-poaching scope for Wildlife and a strong Marine conservation aim. By exposing people to our conservation work and transferring our hands-on mentality, we know that we can make a difference.
But Conservation does not stop at conserving Nature alone, but also includes a responsibility to uplift local and impoverished Communities. This responsibility includes environmental education of the Community as to the role and benefit of conserving biodiversity and further stresses the importance of conserving our natural resources
Volunteers will take part in short and longterm projects which are intended to create sustainability for generations to come. Tasks may vary from physical work to interesting and interactive lecture-based content. Our volunteer program will run from 1 to 4 weeks.
Our program highlights:
- Wildlife Tracking & Monitoring/ Bush Knowledge
- Rhino-Watch/ Anti-Poaching Support
- Reserve Sustainability Project
- Alien Plant Control & Botanical Surveys
- Marine Explorations, Research & Surveys
- Community Engagement
Much of our Conservation work will take place at the nearby Sibuya Game Reserve itself as well as at the nearby rivers and beaches. The Reserve is located in Kenton-on-Sea, along the Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape in South Africa, about 120 km from Port Elizabeth. This renowned Reserve is home to a wide range of different species of Flora and Fauna, with the stunning Kariega River Estuary meandering through it.
