BAYCATION WITH MANTIS

Baycation with Mantis

The first question on everyone’s lips when told about Port Elizabeth is “what on earth does one do there?”. After a series of travel agent workshops around South Africa, we had heard this question hundreds of times and decided it was time we answered it in a meaningful way. From here we began our partnership with Nelson Mandela Bay. We launch our collaboration with a fantastic offers the gives superb accommodation, fine cuisine and a plethora of active, cultural and educational experiences around Nelson Mandela Bay.

The Baycation with Mantis is a 2-day package for 2 people at R 5 500 per package. It includes 2 nights’ accommodation at 2010 Villa at No 5 by Mantis, Villa Tuscana, or The Windermere by Mantis, daily breakfast, 1 dinner at The Jazz Room Restaurant, and a FREE Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism pass with over 70 free and discounted experiences around The Bay. This is the ultimate partnership, and the goal is to educate the travel trade, tourists, and NMB citizens about all The Bay has to offer local and international visitors.

“It is high time tourists spent more than 1 night in PE and started enjoying our Bay as a vacation destination. As a collection of leading hotels and eco-escapes, we at Mantis believe that broadening our marketing focus to sell our destination is more sustainable. We are looking forward to seeing a growth in average length of stay throughout Nelson Mandela Bay, and sincerely hope that more tourism suppliers will collaborate to strengthen our offering”

Mantis was founded by Adrian Gardiner in 2000 after his stellar success creating the first Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, Shamwari Game Reserve. It is a collection of hotels and eco-escapes located on all 7 continents of the world – founded right here in Port Elizabeth. Building on the pioneering legacy of CEO Adrian Gardiner, Mantis Collection holds in high regard responsible conservation practices. Each property in the collection is an example of the finest of its kind and is developed in respect of the culture, community, architecture, and gastronomy of the destination in which it is located.
