  • Sunday mood 🦁
Belly full, muscles relaxed, and not a single worry in sight.
The bush can wait, today feels like a slow start kind of day.
But… just before drifting off again, I roll over, lift my head, and check what’s happening. One must stay king, after all.
Life is good at Ximuwu.

  • We recently found a new hyena den on our property, and these two little ones have already become the stars of our week. Watching them peek out curiously from the safety of their den is enough to make anyone smile.
Wishing you a happy Friday from Ximuwu — may your day be as joyful as these little faces.

  • Summer has arrived ‘overnight’ here at Ximuwu. After weeks of beautiful spring rain, the bush has transformed completely. The grass is shooting up, everything is lush and green, and impala lambs are everywhere you look.

This morning we spotted our first wildebeest calf of the season, and the plains are alive with zebra, giraffe and so many other animals enjoying the fresh growth. It’s always amazing how, after the dry winter months when everything feels tired and pale, nature bounces back with such strength.
Watching the seasons change here at Ximuwu is truly special, and we’d love for you to experience it with us 🌱🌿
  • Yesterday was an unforgettable day at Ximuwu Lodge! We officially received our 5-Star Premium grading from the South African Tourism Grading Council.

We’re now among a very small group of lodges with this prestigious status — and we’re the only accommodation in South Africa with Universal Access Level 3, the highest level. We couldn’t be prouder!

Gus, the GM of the Klaserie, joined us to celebrate this milestone, recognising both Ximuwu and our reserve for truly inclusive travel.

We can’t wait to welcome even more guests to enjoy an unforgettable safari with us!
  • The festive season has arrived at Ximuwu! The tree is up, the decorations are in place, and our lodge is filled with that special December atmosphere.

It’s a wonderful time of year to slow down, enjoy nature, and make lasting memories in the bush.
We’re all set for a beautiful month ahead and can’t wait to welcome our guests for a relaxed and joyful festive season at Ximuwu 🎄
  • At Ximuwu, creating a place that feels truly special is part of what we love most.
Every room, every corner, every view has been shaped with care — from our hand-painted curtains and beautiful pieces by local artists to the warm glow of the light fittings that bring everything together.

These details might seem small, but they make the lodge feel personal and full of character. It’s the kind of space where you immediately feel at ease, where you notice something new each day, and where the atmosphere becomes part of the experience.
We can’t wait to welcome you and share an unforgettable safari adventure with you ❤️
