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.

  • Beautiful lion cubs from the Sark pride! ✨ Here are five interesting facts about lion cubs you may not know: 1. **Born Blind and Helpless**: Lion cubs are born blind and helpless. They rely completely on their mother for warmth, food, and protection during the first few weeks of life. 2. **Spots for Camouflage**: At birth, lion cubs have spots on their fur that help them blend into their environment. These spots fade as they grow older, typically disappearing by the time they are around 3-6 months old. 3. **Mothers Care for the Cubs**: Female lions are the primary caregivers for their cubs. They keep the cubs hidden in dense vegetation or caves to protect them from predators, particularly during the first few weeks. 4. **Play is Important**: Lion cubs engage in a lot of playful behavior, such as mock hunting and wrestling with siblings. This helps them develop important skills needed for survival, including coordination and social behaviors. 5. **Cubs Stay With the Pride**: Lion cubs remain with their mothers for a long period, usually 2-3 years, depending on their survival and the pride’s structure. This time allows them to learn important social behaviors and hunting techniques. #cubs #animals #naturelovers #bigcats #reels #earthfocus #earthofficial #earthcapture #wildza #wildlife #wildanimals
