  • Merry Christmas from all of us at Ximuwu Safari Lodge 🎄 The bush is alive and vibrant at this time of year, full of colour, new life, and summer energy, and we’re feeling incredibly grateful. Grateful for our wonderful guests, our dedicated team, and the privilege of sharing this special place with people from all over the world. May your day be filled with warmth, joy, and a little bit of wild magic. Wherever you are celebrating, we hope the spirit of the African bush is not too far from your heart. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ximuwu soon. Merry Christmas and festive wishes from the bush 🌿✨
  • We can’t get over how beautiful the bush is at the moment. Everything is so lush and green, and this time of year always fills us with gratitude for the follow-up rains and the new life they bring. From fresh greenery to newborn animals and dramatic skies, the bush feels truly alive right now. Just a small glimpse of what Ximuwu has been all about over the past week — nature at its very best. Happy Sunday from all of us at Ximuwu. Do we see you soon? 🌿
  • Along the Klaserie River, there is always something happening. As the river forms part of our traverse, guests will always experience the beauty of the Klaserie during their stay, with elephants, buffalo, antelope and abundant birdlife regularly moving along the water’s edge. Every now and then, the river offers something a little different. A crocodile out of the water, perfectly still, almost posing for the camera. Not something we see every day, and always a special sighting. Would this be a highlight for you, or maybe a little frightening? 🐊
  • After an exciting game drive, there’s nothing quite like ending the day at our sunset bush bar. Perched at the highest point of Ximuwu, with wide views over the mountains, it’s the perfect place to slow down and soak it all in. A glass of Veuve Clicquot, a classic G&T, delicious homemade snacks, and the African sky putting on its evening show… this is safari at its finest. Cheers to golden light, good company and unforgettable sunsets at Ximuwu. 🥂🌅 📸 @francoisfouriesafaris
  • 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. #ximuwu #luxurysafari #bigfive #safarilife #southafrica #wildlifephotography #hyenas #hyenapups #greaterkruger #safarimoments #naturelovers #visitmpumalanga #safariexperience
