What’s Included at Ximuwu Safari Lodge: Luxury, Comfort & Unique Experiences
You’ve found the only wheelchair-accessible safari lodge in Africa, built from the ground up for true inclusion.
Ximuwu is not just another safari stay. This is a purpose-built, luxury accessible safari lodge where thoughtful design, ease of movement, and elegant comfort come together. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, enjoying your accessible suite, or joining a wheelchair-friendly game drive — you’re part of it all.
A safari can be one of the best holiday destinations for a wheelchair user — but only if it’s truly accessible. At Ximuwu, everything has been designed with accessibility in mind, from step-free showers and smooth pathways to adapted game viewers and inclusive experiences.
And with every guest, we learn more: our accessible design also makes Ximuwu a perfect fit for older travellers who appreciate extra comfort, safety, and ease during their safari adventure.
