  • 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! #Ximuwu #JourneyOfGiraffes #SafariMagic #LifeAtXimuwu
  • 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. 🎥 @rudihulshof #Ximuwu #FeelGoodSunday #SarkPride #LionFamily #LionCubs #WildlifeMoments #SafariLife #GreaterKruger
  • 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 ❤️ #Ximuwu#BreakfastWithAView #SafariMagic #WildlifeMoments #GiraffeLove #SafariLife #LuxurySafari
  • Another stunning review from one of our recent guests. Thank you so much for staying with us and we can't wait to welcome you again! “ Warm group welcome by the staff upon arrival. Butler Albert and manager Melinda catered to all our needs with friendly, personalized service. Warm, kind, and genuinely happy staff across the board Guide MK and tracker Bernard were knowledgeable, kind, funny, and enjoyable to spend 6+hours a day tracking and observing animals with them. The extensive private game reserve with only 2 vehicles from the lodge ( at maximum) and maybe another one or two from local landowners made it feel like you were really exploring the wild bush. The variety of wildlife and birds was mind-blowing. We arrived with low expectations and were so grateful to benefit from luck since the animals can come and go as they please and our talented guide and tracker to see the big 5 and many other animals. Honestly, I was sceptical about the helicopter ride, but it was a phenomenal perspective of the area we’ve been getting to know by vehicle. Again, we saw so many animals and the pilot’s joy at seeing them was genuine, even though she clearly sees these types of animals regularly. Incredible food by Chef Amanda. The meals were creative and delicious. She was happy to tailor to different tastes or make something completely different if the planned menu didn't meet your fancy. We also had two lovely meals in the bush. Facilities both inside and out were beautifully designed and impeccably maintained. It was designed to accommodate wheelchair users’ needs. However, that didn't take away from the non-wheelchair users' experience. It was comfortable luxury for all guests. Even though this was a bucket list trip, I dream about how we can make another visit to Ximuwu a reality. I highly recommend Ximuwu lodge for any traveler!”
  • The wild dog pups are thriving at Ximuwu – healthy, playful, and full of character! Over the past few weeks, every guest has had the rare privilege of watching them grow, from those oversized paws and ears to the boundless energy that keeps the whole pack on the move. It’s a true gift to spend time with one of Africa’s most endangered species, and even more so to watch the next generation finding their place in the wild. #Ximuwu #WildDogs #EndangeredSpecies #GreaterKruger #SafariMagic
  • Just after sunrise this morning, we found him — a magnificent male lion, mane glowing in the golden light. As the bush slowly woke up, his roar rolled across the reserve, a powerful reminder of who truly rules here. Sound up for this one — it’s the kind of roar that gives you goosebumps. A magical start to the day and the perfect way to wish you all a Happy Caturday from Ximuwu. 🦁✨ #ximuwu #bigcats #LionRoar #BigCatLove #CaturdayVibes #GoldenHourMagic #WildlifeDaily #SafariLife #NatureBrilliance #AfricanSafari #LionSightings #WildlifePerfection #BushMoments #SafariAdventure #klaserieprivatenaturereserve #SouthAfricaWildlife
