Mantis Hiddn in Addo, a five-star eco-lodge in South Africa’s Addo Elephant National Park, will open in November 2025, offering guided safaris, wellness rituals, and starlit dining under an untouched sky.
Each guest experience is individually curated, with no two stays being the same. Luxury accommodations include ten standalone one-bedroom suites, two spacious two-bedroom suites, and two four-bedroom private villas for larger groups.
Each guest space includes a precision-crafted telescope, offering a rare chance to explore the celestial wonders of the African sky in exquisite detail.
The lodge pairs the intimacy of a safari lodge with the elevated comforts of a luxury hotel. An infinity pool, firepit, and signature wellness program by the award-winning Amani Spa provide moments of deep rest and restoration.
Dining is made to order and highly personalised, while private game drives, expert-guided walking safaris, and wild nature swims offer immersive connections to the land and its wildlife.
Sustainability is not just an afterthought at Hiddn; it is built using eco-friendly, locally sourced materials designed to minimize environmental impact.
The lodge runs on solar energy, incorporates water harvesting and full recycling systems, and restores trails and roads, allowing animals to roam freely and once disturbed landscapes to be rewilded.
At Hiddn, luxury is inseparable from compassion, with around 75 members of nearby communities receiving training and employment.
A purpose-built staff village, education initiatives, youth programs, and planned profit-sharing are part of a lasting commitment to socially conscious, community-driven hospitality.
