"Mantis' origins lie in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. The land in this area had become eroded, over-used and was close to utter devastation when a piece of it was purchased and brought back to life through the tender loving care of Mantis’ chairman and founder, Adrian Gardiner. Many years’ hard work and constant attention rejuvenated the land, and, as further parts of the surrounding areas were bought, the Shamwari Game Reserve was created. The land was repopulated with the game that originally inhabited the area and Shamwari, a private malaria-free game reserve situated on the Garden Route of South Africa, has now become the Mantis flagship property."
