An absolute gem in the Eastern Cape. Founders feels like home. The jar of jelly beans and hot water bottle in my bed at turn down are such a special touch. The team is so warm and friendly and the food is delivious! Uma jóia absoluta no Cabo Oriental. Os fundadores se sentem em casa. O pote de jujubas e a garrafa de água quente na minha cama ao virar da esquina são um toque especial. A equipe é tão calorosa e amigável e a comida é enganadora!
This is aplace where "it allbegins " we have spent the most incredible time with our kids and grandchildren, it's as close to heaven as you can imagine. The staff, the hospitality, the cuisine then the closeness to nature, makes it easy to feel insignificant. Este é um lugar onde "tudo começa" passamos o tempo mais incrível com nossos filhos e netos, é o mais próximo do céu que você pode imaginar. A equipe, a hospitalidade, a culinária e a proximidade com a natureza fazem com que seja fácil se sentir insignificante.

One of the best lodges I have been to. They truly went out of their way to may our stay enjoyable. From Shaun the manager to Wanda our chef, Nick our game ranger who has an incredible knowledge of the animals and pretty much anything else on the lodge. Mandla our host who saw to our every need. I cannot speak highly enough of this team!!! Uno de los mejores albergues en los que he estado. Realmente hicieron todo lo posible para que nuestra estancia fuera agradable. Desde Shaun, el gerente, hasta Wanda, nuestra chef, Nick, nuestro guardabosques, que tiene un conocimiento increíble de los animales y casi cualquier otra cosa en el albergue. Mandla nuestro anfitrión que se ocupó de todas nuestras necesidades. ¡No puedo hablar lo suficiente de este equipo!

My very safari and I was not disappointed. The drivers were amazing, we were asked what we wanted to see before we left and they delivered plus. The staff at Mantis Founders couldn't do enough to make my trip perfect. The accommodation was so cozy. And the food was 5 star. I differently recommend this place. Mi muy safari y no me decepcionó. Los conductores fueron increíbles, nos preguntaron qué queríamos ver antes de irnos y nos entregaron más. El personal de Mantis Founders no pudo hacer lo suficiente para que mi viaje fuera perfecto. El alojamiento era tan acogedor. Y la comida era de 5 estrellas. Recomiendo de manera diferente este lugar.

The best beds and friendly kitchen staff. Good security and wheelchair friendly. Beautiful farmhouse with a large fireplace. Peacefull with a small library.
An absolute gem in the Eastern Cape. Founders feels like home. The jar of jelly beans and hot water bottle in my bed at turn down are such a special touch. The team is so warm and friendly and the food is delivious! Una joya absoluta en el Cabo Oriental. Los fundadores se sienten como en casa. El frasco de caramelos y la botella de agua caliente en mi cama al voltear son un toque especial. El equipo es muy cálido y amable y la comida es deliciosa!
