The rooms at Ximuwu have been carefully designed to suit ease of access for guests with mobility impairments. Electronically adjustable beds are available, and orientation lights guide your way through the bedroom and hallways to the ensuite. 

The in-room ensuites feature hobless flush-floor showers, with hand showers and grab rails in addition to the overhead rain shower. Vanity heights are adjustable, with open space beneath the countertops for wheelchair access.  

Large sliding doors with fully recessed tracks open onto the spacious deck. From this private deck, guests can enjoy a morning coffee while watching the animals at the water hole or a nightcap under the stars.

Ximuwu is proud to offer the only truly wheelchair-accessible safari in South Africa. The lodge is well set up for guests’ needs, allowing full access to the entire complex. Spacious corridors, wide doorways, no steps or sills, and sliding doors with zero-threshold recessed tracks allow complete access to experience the stunning surroundings of the reserve and the luxurious comforts of the lodge in their entirety. 

Bush dinners, early morning tea or coffee in the heart of the bush, and firelit boma experiences are all navigable, with ramps in place. Guests with mobility impairments can seamlessly traverse the sun deck via roll-on-roll-off ramps allowing for uninterrupted views of wildlife drinking from the active waterhole. The sun deck also features a 16m plunge pool equipped with a specially imported pool lift for easy and safe access.

We believe everyone should be able to experience a South African safari and have taken great care to ensure Ximuwu is accessible and inclusive to all from the moment of your arrival. Our shuttle bus is equipped with swivel seats (from Braun Mobility), and conveniently placed ramps allow for easy and stress-free transfers to and from Ximuwu. 

Both of our photography hides are accessed via wide concreted pathways for easy, safe access, and the interior of the hides are well set up to provide all the space you need.  

Slide-out seats on our game driving vehicles mean you can take full advantage of our superb private game viewing within the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Our extraordinary Big 5 sightings are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed!
