About Us
Luxurious, wheelchair-accessible safaris
The Setting
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 6,000 hectares of pristine bushveld.
Explore the Wild
Ximuwu showcases South Africa’s Big Five — lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo — plus cheetah and wild dogs. Choose between our accessible game drives, on-foot safaris, nocturnal safaris with thermovision goggles, and our unique sound safaris.
Wheelchair-Accessible Safaris
Accessibility isn’t an afterthought at Ximuwu. It’s woven into every detail, from our custom-designed game viewers to our refined suites to our gourmet dining. Every guest experiences Africa fully, exactly as they are.
Unrushed Luxury
With only a few guests at a time, you enjoy private game drives, personal attention, and world-class hospitality. No queues at wildlife sightings, and no jostling for the perfect view.
Tailor-made adventures at your own pace
Signature Safari Experiences
Accessible Safaris
Our wheelchair-accessible game viewer means everyone can comfortably explore the wilderness.
EXPLORECustom 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 wildlife from above. Helicopter tours available subject to terms and conditions.
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. No competing vehicles or crowded angles. 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.
