Accessible Safari Dining and Magical Moments
magical
The wild as your dining room
At Ximuwu, we believe that no accessible safari is complete without unforgettable dining experiences. Our culinary journey is as diverse as the African landscape — beginning with elegant fine dining, where each dish is carefully prepared to delight. Then, guests can enjoy bold and colourful street food flavours, all in the open air of the wild.
Our accessible safari offering goes far beyond dining. We create magical moments throughout your stay — like spontaneous drink stops deep in the bush. Picture yourself sipping a cocktail as the sun sets over the savannah, surrounded by silence, beauty, and endless views.
passion with food
Our Kitchen team
Our kitchen team, led by the talented Chef Amanda, brings passion, skill, and creativity to every plate. Amanda has mastered a variety of international cuisines — from refined European classics to vibrant Asian flavours — while proudly showcasing traditional African dishes such as chakalaka, pap, and boerewors.
With a deep understanding of flavour, presentation, and dietary needs, Amanda ensures that each meal at Ximuwu is both beautifully crafted and fully inclusive. Her leadership inspires our entire culinary team to deliver a dining experience that reflects the spirit of the African bush — warm, generous, and unforgettable.
drinks
Sommelier
What’s a safari without a sundowner? All drinks are presented from our mobile bar and not just any bar but a beautifully renovated classic car. Here, our expert sommelier, Albert and his assistant, Stanley, excel in enhancing your meal with the perfect wine pairings from our extensive selection of South African and international wines.
Furthermore, when they’re not choosing the best vintage, Albert and Stanley are masters at mixing drinks. Whether it’s the best Moscow Mule or Whiskey Sour you’ve ever had or any other drink you desire, they ensure your glass is always full. With their expertise, you can fully immerse yourself in the magical surroundings.

Dining that respects your needs
Personalised dining for all dietary requirements
Accessible Safari Dining and Magical Moments for everyone because we are happy to accommodate most dietary requirements, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-free options. We also stock alternatives like almond milk, rice milk, and more.
As our safari lodge is in a remote location — without a supermarket around the corner — we kindly ask you to inform us of any dietary needs in advance, just as you would with special mobility requirements. This helps us prepare and ensure every meal is both safe and delicious.
