Klaserie Private Nature Reserve
Nestled in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, unfenced and adjacent to the Kruger National Park, Ximuwu offers access to a true wilderness where animals roam freely and naturally over 60,000 hectares of African bushveld.
Ximuwu showcases South Africa’s Big Five — lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo — plus cheetah, wild dogs, and a range of bird species. This is the African safari travelers from around the world make the journey to experience — a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with wilderness at its most magnificent.

The perfect African safari is different for everyone. That’s why Ximuwu offers a curated range of experiences designed to match your interests, pace, and passions.

Signature Safari Experiences
Custom Game Drives
Unlike conventional safari camps, Ximuwu’s game drives are tailored to our guest’s preferences and timetable. Drive at dawn or dusk, stay at a sighting as long as you wish, and explore the routes that call to you.
EXPLORENight Drives
What does the nocturnal world look like to a wild animal? With our state-of-the-art thermal vision goggles, you'll see it — the heat signature of an elephant at the waterhole, the careful movements of nocturnal predators, a scene of the bush that few humans ever witness.
EXPLOREWalking Safaris
Get up close and personal with the spectacular African veld. Our guided walking safaris will provide an unforgettable and informative experience tracking wildlife on foot.
EXPLORESound Safaris
Hear what the animals hear. Our signature sound safaris mean you can listen to the calls of distant lions, the rustle of grass as antelope move, the subtle symphony of birdsong at dawn. This unique Ximuwu offering lets you immerse yourself in the wild.
EXPLOREHelicopter Tours
Our scenic helicopter tours offer a breathtaking birds-eye view of the lowveld, allowing you to witness majestic bushveld from above. Helicopter tours included for guests staying for four nights or more
EXPLOREPhoto Safaris
Ximuwu sits in one of the world's finest photography destinations. Our exclusivity means something most photographers never experience: being alone at the sighting. Take advantage of our well-placed hides to capture the perfect moment. Our guides understand wildlife behavior and know the reserve's light at every hour.
EXPLOREAccessible Safaris
Our wheelchair-friendly game viewer means everyone can comfortably explore the wilderness.
