About the lodge

Welcome to Founders Lodge By Mantis

Located in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, Mantis Founders Lodge is the birthplace of conservation in the region. Founders is set on the highest point overlooking the immense wildlife reserve with its unique biomes and abundance of wildlife, fauna and flora. It’s rather like a beautifully appointed eagle’s eyrie, from where you view the valley and waterhole below. The live camera is located at the waterhole and you can expect to see a variety of Wildlife and Rhinos.
