A collection of curated destinations inspired by sustainable adventures.
Our first game reserve was built on a drought-ravaged and degraded farmland in Southern Africa’s Eastern Cape region. 
Carefully restored and nurtured like a new-born, the neglected land slowly came back. And so did the animals. 
And eventually so did the travellers.
The inspiration was sparked. The concept of creating a collection of exceptional, individual lifestyle experiences centred around a common unifying purpose of witnessing and preserving our natural world is what drove Adrian Gardiner’s creation of Mantis. 
Today, Mantis is a leading, conservation-focused hotel group with curated hotels, eco-lodges and waterways located in Africa and beyond. Sustainable travellers have been enjoying eco-tourism, safaris and adventure travel with Mantis since 2000. 
Rooted in conservation, Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.
We believe our group’s growth and respectability in the marketplace has been founded on our acknowledgement and respect of the environment, hence the acronym for Mantis: Man And Nature Together Is Sustainable.
