  • There’s nothing quite like returning from an evening game drive at Ximuwu. 
As you arrive, the flames at the entrance are already glowing, a warm welcome after the thrill of the bush. 

The night then unfolds around the fire in our boma – glasses clinking, stories flowing, and the African sky stretching endlessly above. Safari evenings don’t get better than this.

What would be your drink of choice by the fire?

  • Imagine this as the setting for your last breakfast  on your honeymoon in South Africa … A private deck, the morning light, and then suddenly a huge herd of buffalo casually strolling across our private airstrip. As if nature itself wanted to spoil our guests with one more unforgettable memory before checking out.
At Ximuwu, every moment writes its own story — from private dinners under the stars to helicopter flights over the reserve, and sometimes even a surprise farewell from the wild itself. It’s the magic of safari, where the extraordinary becomes part of your everyday ✨

  • The bush is dry, and our gentle giants are making the most of it. 

At the moment, elephants gather in abundance along the Klaserie River or take a long, lazy bath in our dams. 

From little ones discovering their trunks to big bulls showing their strength, it’s always a privilege to sit quietly and watch them.

At Ximuwu, moments like these remind us just how special it is to share our home with these incredible giants.
  • We are thrilled to share some incredible news!

  • Yesterday was one for the books here at Ximuwu!

During their morning helicopter flight, our guests spotted none other than Ezulwini – one of the most famous big tuskers of the Greater Kruger. Seeing him from the air was already a thrill, and in the afternoon we set out to try and find him again on the ground. No luck… and we thought that was the end of the story.

But Ezulwini had other plans.

Just as our guests were getting ready to head to their rooms after dinner, he appeared – now in the company of a herd of elephants – and made his way right to our waterhole. Imagine the excitement on the deck as this incredible giant quenched his thirst only a few meters from where we stood.

The video we captured might not be crystal-clear, but moments like this don’t need perfect pixels. They’re etched in memory, in the thrill of the unexpected, and in the privilege of sharing space with one of Africa’s true icons.

Ezulwini, thank you for making Ximuwu your stopover – you’ve left us all in awe ✨
