The Mantis company, which continually strives to offer in-the-know travellers the most exceptional properties and authentic experiences imaginable, is announcing a very exciting partnership with Bush Lodge and HillsNek, both located on Amakhala Game Reserve. The resort is located in the malaria-free Eastern Cape of South Africa. Bush Lodge is a five- star Game Lodge, nestled in the bush at the top of the vast open valley on the Amakhala Game Reserve. It offers en-suite; tented and thatched suites. The open-plan design of the tents invites the cooling, breeze from over the water to come closer, transporting all the authentic African sounds, tastes and smells right onto your doorstep. Each unit features a private outdoor shower with magnificent views through the unit, giving you your own glimpse of the water-hole. A personal deck allows you to lose yourself in Africa, while indulging in elite conveniences, such as opulent furniture and all the creature comforts you would expect from the best tented camps in the world. HillsNek Safari Camp, a luxury tented safari lodge, awash with the warmth and color of the afternoon sun, is situated on the banks of the Bushman’s River, overlooking magnificent bushveld and African plains. Thanks to the tranquillity and intimacy afforded by this small camp, the lodge offers guests time for moments of relaxation and reflection. With only four luxury tents, each with private facilities and romantic outdoor showers, the HillsNek experience promises privacy and personalized attention with each and every stay. “Mantis is so thrilled to be back in the heart of the Eastern Cape’s wildlife region where our lives began with the conception of Shamwari Game Reserve all those years ago. Bush Lodge and HillsNek form part of the magnificent Amakhala Game Reserve, another award-winning reserve located 40 minutes from Port Elizabeth – we are pleased to announce that these two lodges will be joining our growing Mantis portfolio,” commented Paul Gardiner, Mantis’s Group marketing director.
