  • 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. 🥂🌅

  • 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!
