Ximuwu winner at ITFFA 2025

We are extremely proud to announce that “Ximuwu – The First Truly Accessible Safari Lodge” has been selected as a winner at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa 2025.

This prestigious recognition celebrates Ximuwu’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion in the luxury safari space. Our film, which highlights the journey of creating South Africa’s first fully wheelchair-accessible safari lodge, was chosen by an international jury for its impact and storytelling.

The Festival will take place in Johannesburg, with the Gala Awards Dinner held at the Sandton Convention Centre on 6 June 2025. On the evening, winners will receive either a Gold or Silver Wreath.

We are deeply honoured that our vision of inclusive luxury tourism is being recognised on an international platform. At Ximuwu, we believe that the magic of the African bush should be accessible to everyone.

  • A while ago, a pride of lions arrived at this waterhole and attacked several hyenas, including cubs from the clan.

Recently, a mother hyena and her young pup have begun returning — cautious and nervous, constantly watching the darkness around them.

But returning nonetheless.
