History

The Ximuwu Safari Lodge founders’ story started when Patrick and Elly Suverein, originally from the Netherlands, realized their dream by acquiring Ximuwu in 2016. Their extensive travels through 30 African nations made them fall in love with South Africa’s Klaserie. In 2021, they opened the doors to their bush haven with Ximuwu’s launch. Their unique design flair has been crucial in shaping its distinctive appeal. Now settled in Klaserie, they take joy in welcoming international visitors. Guests at Ximuwu can expect engaging encounters, from shared stories at the bar to a friendly ‘howzit’ greeting. For Patrick and Elly, the ultimate reward is watching guests immerse themselves in the Ximuwu experience, a testament to their commitment to world-class safari hospitality.

  • Have you ever seen zebras fight? 🦓💥 

Turns out, these striped beauties aren’t always so peaceful. Male zebras fight for dominance and mating rights, using powerful bites and kicks to assert control. Their fights can look intense — and they are. 

A zebra’s bite can crush with a force strong enough to break skin and even cause serious injury. It’s all about survival and securing their place in the herd. Nature isn’t just beautiful — it’s fierce, raw, and real. 💥

  • Majestic, tough, and iconic 🐃 

The buffalo is part of Africa’s Big Five because of its strength, unpredictability, and powerful presence. It’s not just a grazer—it’s a symbol of resilience and raw power. Seeing one in the wild is beautiful & unforgettable. 🐃
