About the Mantis Collection: Mantis is a boutique hospitality group that was founded by conservationist Adrian Gardiner in 2000 with its main focus predominantly in Africa and the Middle East. Mantis grew from Adrians vision to restore and rewild degraded farmland which he developed into a widely acclaimed Private Game Reserve. This was the first private game reserve in the Eastern Cape and the beginning of eco-tourism in a poverty-stricken province that had few opportunities outside of commercial farming. Adrian and the Mantis team successfully created a place where man and nature could co-exist sustainably. From this initial success the Mantis model was then developed worldwide understanding that consumers could use the Mantis portfolio as a mark of quality consistency and character. Today the diverse portfolio of handpicked properties links up to create travel journeys which offer guests the opportunity to experience the essence of the location in a setting of tailored luxury. Rooted in conservation Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.
