Bike & Saddle and Mantis have announced an exclusive agreement whereby Bike & Saddle’s signature Eco-Active excursions will be rolled out at Mantis’ five star malaria-free leading reserves in South Africa; world renowned Shamwari Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape and Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, situated in the Klein Karoo region of the Western Cape.
Paul Gardiner, Mantis International Marketing Director announces, “We are very excited and pleased to welcome Bike & Saddle into the Mantis family. Bike & Saddle, a carbon neutral company, and custodians of the ‘Tanzania Reforestation Project’ have crafted a superb eco-friendly, superior quality product, that perfectly matches our own responsible and environmentally friendly ethos.”
Cycle safari excursions lend a measure of authenticity, adventure and thrill, it allows guests to be ‘in the moment’, to get up close and personal with the wildlife, breathe in the sights and sounds of the bush, from the back of a bike.
Gardiner was also quick to point out that guest safety was of paramount importance to Mantis, and that all trips will be led by qualified and armed rangers and that all cycling excursions were designed with utmost care ensuring guests are never in harm’s way, so guests have very little to worry about.
Gustav Erlank, founder and MD of Bike & Saddle further adds, “Our trademarked Eco-Active excursions offer guests at these two leading destinations in South Africa an opportunity to enjoy a two hour cycle safari excursion. Eco-aware travelers will be able to have remarkable holidays whilst reducing their carbon footprint at the same time.”
Guests visiting our country will be able to experience South Africa’s ‘hot spots’, leading wildlife and enjoy five star accommodation and dining pleasures. Mantis is a proud member of Preferred Boutique™ of the Preferred Hotel Group.
