  • There’s never a dull moment on our airstrip… especially when the local “management” is on duty. For years, this loyal pair of black-backed jackals has claimed the strip as their territory. Around here, we call them Jackie… or, when they’re feeling particularly bold, the airstrip mafia. Always alert, always watching, and very quick to investigate any hint of action nearby. This morning’s sighting shows one of them dashing purposefully down the runway — no doubt on the way to “assist” where a predator might have made a kill. Nothing ever goes unnoticed with these two around. Small, clever, and full of character — they’ve become part of daily life at Ximuwu, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
  • A beautiful breeding herd of buffalo gathered at Anderson Dam this morning. Wonderful to see so many youngsters among them. These big herds are always impressive to watch as they move through the reserve. A great sighting on an early game drive at Ximuwu. 🐃🌿
  • Last week we were lucky enough to spend time with one of the legendary big tuskers known to roam the Greater Kruger — a magnificent bull called Tussle. 🐘 These extraordinary elephants are famous for their immense tusks, sometimes nearly touching the ground. They move freely across the entire Greater Kruger landscape, so sightings are never guaranteed and always completely on their terms. Seeing Tussle pass through the area around Ximuwu was a fascinating moment and a real privilege. What a treat. ✨
  • Today we celebrate the incredible women of Ximuwu. From hosting to housekeeping, the kitchen, the spa and the many things that happen behind the scenes, our ladies are an essential part of everything we do. Their dedication, strength, warmth and pride in their work help create the special atmosphere our guests experience every day. We are grateful for the passion and care they bring to Ximuwu, and we are proud to work alongside such an inspiring team of women. Happy International Women’s Day to the wonderful women of Ximuwu. We celebrate you today and every day. 🌿
  • An incredible start to the morning at Ximuwu 🍀 Just as our guests were setting off for their early game drive, a full pack of wild dogs appeared right in front of the lodge, calmly investigating the airstrip. Curious and alert, they took their time, giving everyone a truly memorable sighting before the drive had even begun. Wild dogs are among the most fascinating predators to watch in the wild, and seeing an entire pack right on the lodge’s doorstep is something very special. Not a bad way to start the day! #ximuwu #africanwilddog #painteddogs #greaterkruger #luxurysafari
  • Look who we found at Ximuwu! 🦁🐢 A playful lion cub discovered a tortoise and decided it was the perfect new toy… and don’t worry, the tortoise got away unscathed! No crowds. No vehicles in line. Just you, your guide, your tracker… and the freedom to watch this little bush adventure unfold at your own pace. This is what safari magic looks like up close. 📷 @janet.templeton
