Hermanus is one of South Africa’s most enchanting coastal towns, renowned for its spectacular marine life, dramatic scenery, and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Known as the whale-watching capital of the world, Hermanus offers exceptional land-based sightings of Southern Right Whales between June and November, often visible just a few metres from the clifftops.
Beyond whale watching, the town boasts beautiful beaches, scenic coastal paths, and the renowned Cliff Path — perfect for leisurely walks with sweeping ocean views. Food lovers will enjoy a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, and vibrant local markets, while wine enthusiasts can explore the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, home to some of South Africa’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
For those seeking adventure, Hermanus offers marine wildlife tours, kayaking, hiking in Fernkloof Nature Reserve, and easy access to Gansbaai for shark-cage diving. Despite the many activities, Hermanus retains a warm and welcoming small-town charm, making it an ideal destination to unwind at the coast while still enjoying a rich variety of experiences.
Sibuya Forest Camp offers a serene and intimate safari experience tucked deep within indigenous riverine forest. One of the reserve’s signature features is that guests access the lodge via a scenic boat transfer along the Kariega River — a memorable start that sets the tone for a relaxed, nature-rich stay.
The camp blends seamlessly into the forest environment, with spacious tented suites raised on wooden decks for comfort and privacy. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of the bush and wake up to birdsong and soft light filtering through the trees. Despite the natural setting, the tents are stylish and comfortable, featuring en-suite bathrooms, cosy furnishings, and a warm, earthy ambiance.
The main lodge area offers communal dining spaces, a fire pit for evenings under the stars, and plenty of quiet corners to unwind. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and designed to reconnect you with nature.
