  • If the weather allows, there’s always a surprise waiting for you at Ximuwu… A breakfast under our iconic Baobab tree — Ximuwu in the Tsonga language — or a magical dinner under the stars by the sleepout deck. 

These special meals in the bush are just another inclusion you can look forward to during your stay with us.
To truly enjoy all the unique experiences we offer, we require a minimum stay of three nights — giving you the time to soak up every unforgettable moment.

Which one would you choose — breakfast under the Baobab or dinner under the stars? ✨🌿

  • Our guests last week were beyond lucky — they managed to spot the Magnificent Seven during their stay at Ximuwu! That’s the Big Five plus wild dogs and a cheetah… what an unforgettable experience!

We’re always thrilled to see our resident male cheetah, who has been visiting us regularly for more than eight years now. We’re so grateful that he’s still going strong and hope to welcome him for many more years to come. There’s nothing quite like watching him stop by the lodge waterhole for a drink — truly a pinch-me moment!

Which one of the Magnificent Seven is your favourite?

  • We’re slowly heading towards our rainy season, and we honestly can’t wait for that first big downpour! The bush is very dry at the moment, and you can feel that both animals and people are longing for that fresh green to return.

Luckily, our dams still hold plenty of water from last year’s good rains — which means we’ve had some very happy (and regular!) elephant visitors lately. Watching them splash, play, and cool off in the dams close to the lodge is such a special sight for our guests.

Here’s to the promise of rain, lush green days ahead, and even more magical wildlife moments at Ximuwu 💦
  • 📸 One more thing that makes a stay at Ximuwu so special: the use of our photographic hide is fully included in your rate — no extra cost, just pure magic.

These guests were lucky enough to capture wild dogs stopping by for a drink, beautifully framed in the late afternoon light. What an unforgettable moment!

You can settle in, camera ready, maybe even with your favourite cocktail in hand, and wait for nature to put on its next show. That’s the kind of experience we love to share at Ximuwu!

  • Golden hour at Ximuwu ✨

There’s something about the warm evening light that makes the bush glow. Giraffes seem to love it too — strolling slowly, enjoying the calm of the afternoon turning into night. It’s one of those moments where you just stop and watch. What’s your favourite time of day on safari? 🦒🌅
