The Latest from Instagram

  • A slow drive, a bit of scanning… and then suddenly all eyes in one direction. A leopard stretched out in a tree, completely relaxed, while we watch from the vehicle below. It’s one of those sightings that instantly changes the energy on the vehicle. For many guests, this is right at the top of the wishlist. And when it happens, it never disappoints. One of many beautiful sightings we were fortunate to enjoy at Ximuwu last week 🐆
  • Wildebeest cross Ximuwu airstrip in the soft light of the setting sun. The plains are bathed in a warm glow, and there’s a peaceful calm that settles over the bush as day slowly turns to night ✨
  • Yesterday on our viewing deck, we witnessed a truly unforgettable moment. Ger asked Debby to marry him—and she said yes! 💍 Their journey together has been a long one, filled with love, challenges, and triumphs. A few years ago, Debby suffered a stroke that changed their lives, and they faced some very difficult times. But through it all, their love and determination never wavered. Today, Debby is thriving and they’re back to chasing adventures together. A safari had long been on their wish list, but as a wheelchair user, Debby thought it might never happen. Then they found Ximuwu. In that perfect moment, with the African wilderness all around them, Ger proposed to his wonderful Debby—and we were honored to witness it. Here’s to love, resilience, and dreams coming true. 💛
  • Seeing Ximuwu from the ground is one thing… but from the sky, it’s something else entirely. Every flight ends with a final turn over the lodge, giving you that last sweeping view of the bush, the open plains, and our little piece of wilderness from above. It’s the kind of perspective that really stays with you. And the best part? This helicopter flight is included in every stay at Ximuwu. A different angle, a different feeling — and one more reason to fall in love with this place. 📷 @janet.templeton
  • Not your average bathroom view… 🛁 From the bathtub, the plains stretch out in front of you, open and uninterrupted. Wildlife passing by, birds calling in the distance, and nothing else to think about for a while. A quiet moment between game drives, with one of the best seats in the lodge.
  • There’s something quite special happening out at our Steendam hide. A hyena clan has made this area their home, with a den tucked safely nearby. It’s a place full of life, where you never quite know what you’ll witness next. Many guests already know and love the hide right in front of the lodge, but having a second hide at Steendam adds a whole new experience. A little more remote, a little more raw… and often incredibly rewarding. Picture an afternoon settled in, your favourite drink within reach, camera ready. No rush, no noise, just the quiet rhythm of the bush. Hyenas moving in and out, other wildlife arriving at the waterhole, each moment unfolding in its own time.
