  • Imagine this… a few days ago our guests were peacefully watching a pack of wild dogs resting close to the waterhole, waiting for the sun to set before heading off for drinks and a hunt. 

The scene was calm and full of anticipation. Suddenly, two elephants arrived, trumpeting loudly and making it clear they weren’t too happy with the dogs’ presence. 

Dust flew, the dogs scattered, and the elephants stood their ground. What a thrilling and unforgettable sighting to witness here at Ximuwu!

  • What an incredible week it’s been here at Ximuwu! 

From the most wonderful guests who filled the lodge with laughter, to unforgettable wildlife sightings that left us in awe, it’s been pure magic. Add to that scenic helicopter flights, delicious meals and sundowners out in the bush, perfect weather, and those golden African sunsets… we couldn’t have asked for more.

A huge thank you to our amazing guests for sharing these moments with us, and to our dedicated team who make the Ximuwu experience so special every single day.

If you could choose one highlight for your dream safari – would it be the wildlife, the food and drinks in the bush, or soaring above it all on a helicopter flight?
  • Last night the stunning Rulani treated our guests to an unforgettable sighting. 

She posed so beautifully, completely unbothered by our presence, as if she knew the spotlight was on her. Watching her in the golden evening light was truly magical – a reminder of just how special it is to share these moments with such an iconic leopard here at Ximuwu ✨
  • This morning our airstrip became the stage for a beautiful journey of giraffes on the move. Tall, elegant, and perfectly in sync, they made their way across the runway — a gentle reminder that at Ximuwu, the wild always calls the shots. 🦒✨

We’ve captured all the magic in our stories, so be sure to catch the full journey of these graceful giants!

  • A feel-good Sunday update from Ximuwu… 🦁

Last week we spent time with the Sark pride, all gathered around a giraffe carcass. In between feeding, the little ones were busy climbing over each other, grooming, and seeking cuddles and attention from their moms.

It was such a heartwarming scene — a reminder that even in the wild, family bonds are everything. Watching the pride interact, with young and older cubs all jostling for affection, is what makes safari moments so unforgettable.

  • This morning’s breakfast view was one to remember… 

As we sipped our coffee, a gentle giant strolled in for a drink at the waterhole right in front of the lodge. There’s something so magical about sharing these quiet moments with the wildlife who call Ximuwu home.

It’s never just breakfast here – it’s an experience ❤️
