A Game Lodge Designed With Access In Mind
What To Expect at Ximuwu Safari Lodge
You’ve found the only fully wheelchair-accessible safari lodge in Africa, built from the ground up for true inclusion.
Ximuwu 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.
At Ximuwu, everything has been designed with accessibility in mind, from step-free showers and smooth pathways to adapted game viewers and inclusive experiences. Our accessible design also makes Ximuwu a perfect fit for older travellers who appreciate extra comfort, safety, and ease during their safari adventure.
The Common Areas
Seclusion & Serenity
Our luxurious wheelchair-friendly safari lodge is perfectly set up with spacious corridors, wide doorways, and no steps or sills, allowing full access throughout the lodge for guests with mobility aids and wheelchairs.
All common areas in the lodge, including the spa, fitness area, restaurant, and pool deck are designed to be fully accessible. Ramps, height-adjustable bar seats, and a pool lift ensures that you get to experience the luxury of Ximuwu, no matter your mobility needs.
The Suites
Luxury Meets Accessibility
Our elegant suites are designed for accessibility, featuring wide doorways, adjustable beds, and plenty of room for navigation. The en-suite bathrooms have roll-in showers and grab bars for added safety.
Private, relaxing, and beautifully decorated, the accommodation is designed so that every guest can have a stay that is as luxurious as it is accessible.
Care and Hospitality
Top-Notch Care
Traveling with a carer? Ximuwu is the perfect safari destination. Guests who need assistance can bring their own caregiver or use a local professional.
We work with local, certified nurses and caregivers who can support you during your stay. You may also choose to work with a fly-in-nurse.
Our pilot’s room is available if you’d like your own nurse or carer to stay on-site.
Support Items
Added Comfort
In addition to our built-in amenities, our lodge offers a range of accessibility support items — including bath lifts, bedrails, walking frames, shower chairs, cooling vests, raised toilet seats, and more — to improve your comfort during your stay.
Our list of support items is constantly expanding. When you book with us, please let us know which items you would like to use. We’ll have everything ready upon your arrival.
Inclusive Dining
Gourmet Cuisine for All
You’ll never feel like an afterthought at the dinner table. Whether you’re enjoying a bush breakfast, cocktails at the pool, or dinner in our beautiful restaurant, we’ll make it as inclusive as possible.
In addition to making your dining experience mobility-friendly, we cater for all dietary needs. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, living with food allergies or other medical concerns, observing religious dietary requirements, or following any other dietary path, we’ll create a menu that suits you perfectly.
