History

Patrick and Elly Suverein, originally from the Netherlands, turned their vision into reality by acquiring Ximuwu in 2016. After an extensive journey through 30 African nations, they found their heart in South Africa’s Klaserie.

The year 2021 marked a new chapter as they opened the doors of their bush haven with Ximuwu’s launch. Their unique design flair has been instrumental in crafting its distinctive appeal. Now calling Klaserie their home, they delight in hosting international visitors. Guests at Ximuwu can anticipate engaging encounters, from shared stories at the bar to a friendly ‘howzit’ greeting.

Patrick and Elly’s ultimate reward is watching guests immerse themselves in the Ximuwu experience, a testament to their dedication to world-class safari hospitality.
