History

The Ximuwu Safari Lodge founders’ story started when Patrick and Elly Suverein, originally from the Netherlands, realized their dream by acquiring Ximuwu in 2016. Their extensive travels through 30 African nations made them fall in love with South Africa’s Klaserie. In 2021, they opened the doors to their bush haven with Ximuwu’s launch. Their unique design flair has been crucial in shaping its distinctive appeal. Now settled in Klaserie, they take joy in welcoming international visitors. Guests at Ximuwu can expect engaging encounters, from shared stories at the bar to a friendly ‘howzit’ greeting. For Patrick and Elly, the ultimate reward is watching guests immerse themselves in the Ximuwu experience, a testament to their commitment to world-class safari hospitality.

  • In honour of International Leopard Day, we thought we’d share this moment that will stay with us forever. 🐆 

Last year, our guests witnessed her mating and being chased into a tree by lions. Months passed, and we hoped she’d given birth—but she vanished.

Then one morning, Bernard found fresh leopard tracks… with two tiny sets behind hers. Hope was reignited.

We knew she was near, but the cubs remained hidden.

After days of patient tracking and unwavering dedication, we finally found her—calling softly as she moved through the bush. Then, the moment we’d all been waiting for: the cubs, cautiously but confidently, crossed a river right before our eyes.

They’re still shy, but they’re here. And they’re beautiful & we are here for it ✨
