曼緹斯創始者小屋酒店(Mantis Founders Lodge)

Cela a été pour nous une expérience extraordinaire. Pour notre premier safari, cela met la barre très haut. C’est une petit maison au cœur d’une réserve. Il y a peu de chambres ce qui rend l’expérience très intime, les employés sont très chaleureux et prêt à aider. Nous avons été très bien accueillis tout le long du séjour. Nous avons eu des réponses et toutes nos demandes et bien plus, ils ont su nous surprendre et rendre ce séjour magique. Nous sortions en voiture dans la réserve deux fois par jour avec un ranger qui s’y connaissait très bien et a pu nous apprendre énormément sur la faune et la flore locale. La chambre est géniale et donne sur la réserve… L’expérience vaut vraiment le détour, vous serez surpris chaque jour et toute l’équipe vous fera sentir comme chez vous

我們和朋友與家人一起在 Founders Lodge 度過了 2 天，這一切都是從這裡開始的——Shamwari 禁獵區。丹尼爾和他的團隊照顧我們，一切都是一流的。我們有自己的兩名狩獵護林員Marthus 和Cilliers - 這兩名護林員與我們關係密切，確保我們看到了很多動物- 獅子/水牛/黑犀牛和她的小牛/獵豹狩獵/大象/長頸鹿等等。房間很大而且佈置得很漂亮。食物和服務是另一個亮點！螳螂創辦人旅館 (Mantis Founders Lodge) 是您的遺願清單體驗！

如果您正在閱讀評論並試圖決定完美的住宿地點，那麼您就不用再猶豫了 - 您已經找到了！ Founders Lodge 絕對是一個非常棒的場所，其服務、食物和住宿都超出了預期。 Craig、Glynnis 和整個團隊努力提供卓越的個人化服務，並且不遺餘力地關注細節。從我們到達的那一刻到我們悲傷的離開的那一刻，我們都很享受住宿的每一分鐘。要是我們預訂了更長的住宿就好了！丹尼爾、曼德拉、恩托姆比、辛西婭、廚師勞埃德和萬達以及團隊的其他成員為我們提供了照顧和關注，並為我們提供了吃過的最好的食物。在我們開始描述美麗的 Shamwari 野生動物保護區和我們與出色的護林員 Sikhumbuzo 一起進行的精彩狩獵之旅之前，我們已經完成了這一切，他的駕駛和追蹤技術都非常出色！我們在這個美麗的環境中看到了一些令人驚嘆的動物，並從一些非常特殊的角度看到了一些美麗的日落。如果您正在考慮南非狩獵之旅的目的地，請不要再猶豫了，您不會失望的！

我們最近在曼蒂斯創始人旅館 (Mantis Founders Lodge) 度過了一段美妙的時光，這可能是我和我的家人在酒店住過的最好的體驗。照顧這家旅館的人對旅館的歷史非常熱情，這也體現在服務中。在我到達之前，格林尼斯和克雷格非常出色地回答了所有有關路線的問題，他們一直在檢查，直到我在住宿後到達高速公路。丹和曼德拉非常出色地滿足了我們的食物和飲料需求。我必須嘗試他們令人驚嘆的南非杜松子酒和白蘭地系列。 Cillia 向我們展示並回答了我們關於野生動物和鳥類的所有問題。儘管我們住宿的兩天一直在下雨，但我們沒有錯過任何一次狩獵活動。每次有可能，他們都會讓我們感到驚訝。說實話，我的腦海裡仍然在小屋裡:)，這是我想再次訪問的少數地方之一。如果您有機會去東開普省，請閉上眼睛預訂這個地方。您可以稍後感謝我。再次感謝這家旅館的一群愛心人士，包括支援人員。你太棒了 ！

到達螳螂酒店後，我們受到了溫暖的毛巾和不含酒精的飲料的歡迎（我們沒有喝任何含酒精的飲料）。辦理入住很快，我們很快就去看了我們的房間。我寶寶的嬰兒床已經準備好了。房間又大又乾淨。晚上很安靜。優質且個性化的服務！我們住了兩晚，第一天晚上我們在專門為我們保留的房間裡吃的晚餐，晚餐包括前菜、主菜和甜點，食物很美味，他們還為我一歲零三個月的寶寶做了一頓特別的飯菜。第二天晚上，晚餐在露臺上，他們很小心地將我們的桌子放在陽台上，這樣我的寶寶就不會平靜，然而，她累了，開始哭得很厲害，我和丈夫要求吃完晚餐在房間裡，當我們看到他們把桌子上擺滿了我們房間裡的所有東西時，我驚訝於他們對我們的關心和照顧。我的寶寶由於年齡原因無法參加野生動物園，但他們很快就安排了一次小型旅行，以便她可以開車在酒店周圍看到動物。我真的很喜歡這個地方，尤其是這裡的服務，我絕對推薦它，因為這是一個獨特的體驗！

We had the most wonderful 3 night stay at Founders Lodge. Glynnis and Craig (and their entire team) were amazing hosts - so friendly and welcoming, and real perfectionists! The fabulous meals were all served at different spots around the Lodge, so we had a range of views and rooms to enjoy throughout our stay. The food throughout was delicious. The Lodge is set overlooking an amazing landscape, and there were always views of rhino, warthogs, giraffe etc etc to enjoy from there. The new hideaway, which overlooks the waterhole, allows remarkably close-up viewing of the animals as they drink and bathe. The two game drives per day across Shamwari were brilliant, and we enjoyed the company of our great guide, Martus. We saw pretty much everything (apart from the elusive leopards), and always from a fantastic viewpoint with very few (if any) other vehicles nearby. The highlight was seeing a recent kill of a baby giraffe by lions one afternoon, and the next morning seeing the same lions (with cubs) fully tucking into the remains of the carcass. Not pretty, but fascinating! The abundance of elephants and rhinos was a joy to see, and we probably had better viewings of them on this safari than we've ever had on others we've been on. I'd really recommend visiting the Born Free Sanctuary while you're there, too. The whole vibe of Founders Lodge, and its staff, is so relaxed and charming (but run like clockwork by Glynnis and Craig!). We really hope we're able to go back there again some time. Thanks so much to everyone for looking after us so well (and for making the dinner with the special guest happen!!).

Wow, wow , wow. This place is outstanding and worthy of six stars! We have just spent seven nights here and have to say absolutely everything and everybody is perfect! The food is out of this world and the chefs are deserving of Michelin Stars! Our room (the master suite) is stunning with all necessary requirements! White fluffy gowns, we needed them as our luggage did not arrive for four days , so we literally arrived in the clothes that we stood up in! Luckily Glynnis and Craig the managers were extremely kind and arranged for us to pop our gowns on whilst they arranged for our clothes to be freshly laundered each day! Glynnis and Craig are amazing managers and because our luggage containing urgent medication hadn't arrived they did everything they could to help us trace it and Glynnis even rang a local surgery/pharmacy for us to try and get an emergency supply of medicines. I hasten to add that we had taken sufficient medication for the flights and first day but due to cancelled flights and missed connections it wasn't enough! Just nothing was too much trouble for either of them! When our luggage finally arrived and the airline refused to courier it out to us Craig arranged for his private driver to go to Port Elizabeth to collect it. We are forever grateful! The game drives are absolutely outstanding and our guide Martis was superb getting us to the best viewing points to see so many wild animals, it was the most incredible, emotional and spiritual experience for both of us! And worth every penny! Thank you all so much, Kim and Pete xx
