  • Another special inclusion we love to highlight at Ximuwu is a night on our sleepout deck. For those who feel like leaving their beautiful suite for a night, this is the ultimate African adventure — sleeping beneath the vast starry sky, surrounded by the sounds of the wild. From the gentle calls of night birds to the distant roar of a lion, every sound reminds you that you’re truly part of nature. As the night gives way to dawn, you’ll wake up to the most breathtaking sunrise over the bush, with coffee delivered right to your deck 🌅 It’s a truly unforgettable experience — and the best part? It’s all included in your stay at Ximuwu!
  • A recent sighting of this stunning leopard gave us a real thrill — not only was it beautifully perched in a tree, but we were lucky enough to watch it climb down right in front of us. Moments like these are what make every safari at Ximuwu truly unforgettable 🐆 🎥 @rudihulshof #XimuwuSafariLodge #LeopardEncounter #BigFive #SafariMagic #WildlifeMoments
  • Four young male giraffes gave us a beautiful show today — gently practising their “necking” skills. Necking is how young males test their strength and learn the rhythm of future battles, long before any serious competition begins. It looks almost like a slow dance — graceful, powerful, and full of quiet energy. Watching them move in perfect balance is such a joy, a glimpse into how nature prepares even its tallest giants for adulthood. #Ximuwu #GiraffesOfAfrica #WildlifeMoments #Safari #KlaseriePrivateNatureReserve #AfricanBush #GiraffeLove #LuxurySafari
  • At Ximuwu, every game drive is more than just a safari — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Set in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, with only one other commercial lodge on our traverse, our lodge offers an extraordinary sense of exclusivity. Guests often describe their sightings here as truly unforgettable — whether it’s lions resting just a few meters from your vehicle, elephants moving gracefully through the bush, or a leopard silently stalking its prey. The closeness and privacy allow for moments that feel almost magical. Every experience at Ximuwu is designed to be intimate and personal, giving you the chance to connect with nature in a way that few people ever get to. This is safari at its most raw, authentic, and unforgettable. #XimuwuSafariLodge #Klaserie #LuxurySafari #ExclusiveSafari #OnceInALifetime #BigFive #SafariExperience #WildlifeMoments #IntimateSafari #NatureUpClose
  • At Ximuwu, guests often think it’s Amanda creating all those beautiful dishes… and yes, she really is amazing — but she’s not alone in the kitchen! We’re lucky to have a whole team of three talented chefs. One of them is Twalani, who joined us a year ago. At first, he preferred to stay behind the scenes, quietly making sure every dish that left the kitchen was perfect. But lately, he’s been stepping out of his comfort zone and taking charge of our bush breakfasts — showing guests just how incredible his cooking really is. He’s still a little shy when doing his presentations, but he’s gaining confidence with every smile and compliment from our guests. We’re so proud of how far he’s come! Next time you visit Ximuwu, don’t forget to say hi to Twalani — he’s one of the reasons your breakfast tastes extra special.
  • We’ve been incredibly privileged to have so many amazing wild dog sightings here at Ximuwu. Knowing how few are left in the wild makes every encounter truly special. For a while, we were lucky to have a den right in our area — such an unforgettable experience watching the pups grow. Now that they’re big enough to explore, they’ve started roaming across the different reserves again. And just when you least expect it… they appear out of nowhere, full of energy and excitement. That’s the magic of the bush — you never know when nature will surprise you! Have you ever been lucky enough to see wild dogs in the wild?
