Mantis Founders Lodge
Safari aventure à Founder's Lodge
Founder's Lodge est un hub écologique constitué de différents biomes. Partez l'explorer à pied ou en voiture, et découvrez la nature à l'oeuvre sous différents angles. Laissez-vous séduire par le spectacle incroyable des Big Five ainsi que de nombreuses espèces de gibier, de plantes, d'insectes et d'oiseaux. Parcourez les 400 hectares de la concession de Founder's Lodge. Vous pourrez cueillir du spekboom et y goûter, et notre chef Louise se fera un plaisir d'ajouter cette plante à votre dîner.
Safari à pied
Bien en contact avec le sol, parcourez les sentiers empruntés par les habitants de la savane, du bush et des bords de rivières d'Afrique. Grâce aux safaris à pied, vous vous retrouvez en contact étroit avec l'écosystème. Vous pouvez ainsi goûter, sentir et toucher les dimensions les plus précieuses de l'Afrique.
Rhino feeding and monitoring
Conservation of animals and the environment is pivotal at all Mantis Collection properties. Founders Lodge is no different. It is the safe house for a crash of white rhinos. You are welcome to help with the supplementary feeding of the rhino and assist to record and monitor the health and wellbeing of these endangered species. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make a difference while learning more about these magnificent creatures.
Bear Grylls Survival Academy Experience for Kids
Mantis Founders Lodge is the ideal base for a family holiday with the Founders Lodge Kids Conservation Warriors programme, which includes a Bear Grylls Survival Academy experience, taking young survivors on a journey of dynamic self-rescue to find out if they have what it takes to survive the wild!
Families can enjoy tranquility away from the city and be reminded of the pristine beauty of the natural world, right in the heart of a wildlife concession. This is an unforgettable experience and with bespoke activities tailored to each guest, no holiday is the same.
Bear Grylls, well-known adventurer and television personality, shares Mantis’ passion for education, evidenced by our newly launched Bear Grylls Survival Academy experience at Founders Lodge.
This dynamic self-rescue activity invites young adventurers to learn some of Bear’s key survival techniques before putting them to the test!
In just two hours, the aspiring survivors will learn just what it takes to survive in the wild and they will return to the lodge with an experience they won’t soon forget!
Interactive Wildlife Tracks and Signs Experience
With the art of tracking perhaps being the oldest science, it innately captures our imagination, fuels our curiosity and inspires the urge to interpret the stories left in the sand.
Our guests are invited to join our expert Guides to learn about the plethora of tracks and signs that our wildlife leave behind. Holding evidence of signs from the smallest insect to our largest animals and everything in between, the land is our bush-newspaper where we can interpret the daily bush news of what’s been happening while nobody was looking.
