Mantis Collection

Mantis is a distinguished collection of hotels, eco-lodges, waterways, and Impact Experiences that offer curated experiences to the and conscious traveller. Rooted in conservation, Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.

Whether small and intimate or vast and complex, on a sweeping African plain, bustling city, private tropical island or frozen snowscape, each is an exceptional place for guests to find themselves. While uniquely different in the experiences they offer, all are linked through a collective obsession to be extraordinary, to be rare in a world that mass-produces sameness.

Mantis constantly curates, collects and discovers destinations and experiences that stir the soul, defy expectation and live in the heart forever. We will do anything in our power to advance the cause of sustainability and to promote further appreciation of the land, its creatures and our communities. We believe that the truly rare needs to be looked after and protected for future generations and are wholly committed to Legacy Creation.

Mantis hotels procure bathroom amenities, wines, coffee, and other amenities from suppliers that practice the utmost care for the environment and do not use animals to test their products. Mantis has partnered with Eco-planet Bamboo and is determined to replace all unsustainable packaging, and paper products in their hotels with bamboo alternatives.

In April 2018, Mantis joined the Accor Group, a strategic partnership which reinforced the Group as a leader in curated one-of-a-kind experiences and resonated with the Accor’s conservation platform; Planet21. Together, Mantis and Accor created the Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA) in response to the urgent need for the tourism industry to play a greater role in conservation and community upliftment. CCFA is a registered NPO which funds community upliftment programmes and conservation operations in Africa.

Community Conservation Fund Africa

Guests who visit the 30+ Mantis Collection hotels, eco-escapes and waterways play an important role in supporting conservation-led travel and hospitality. It’s about curated destinations, inspired by sustainable adventures. Conservation has always been at the foundation of Mantis, it’s even reflected in the name: Man and Nature Together is Sustainable. It is from this that the Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA) was born in 2018. A collaboration between Mantis and Accor to address the social and environmental imbalances and find a workable solution to the growing conservation crisis facing, not just Africa, but the world. The CEO and Chairman of CCFA is Adrian Gardiner, well-known conservationist, philanthropist, entrepreneur and founder of Mantis. His mantra: ‘If you take the wildlife out of Africa there will be little to no tourism’. CCFA, a registered non-profit company (NPC), is both a fundraising and a grant-giving organisation, active in educating and empowering local communities to help themselves by implementing sustainable wildlife management systems.
