Kwantu Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape has attained a prestigious 7-Crescent rating, the maximum rating afforded by CrescentRating, the global authority on Halal-friendly travel.
"We are profoundly honoured to be the first property in South Africa to attain the pinnacle of Crescent ratings. This landmark recognition underscores our steadfast dedication to delivering top-tier service and assuring optimal comfort for our guests, all within a Halal-compliant environment,” said Dr Shakir Jeeva, CEO of Kwantu.
CrescentRating's system ranges from one to seven, with seven being the highest achievable rating. Attaining a 7-Crescent rating involves fulfilling rigorous criteria that ensure the highest standards of Halal-friendly amenities and services are met.
The global Halal market is forecast to swell to US$3.2 trillion by 2024, and so the destinations that serve this burgeoning consumer base are becoming increasingly important. Kwantu's rating, unparalleled in South Africa, cements its status as an ideal destination for the Halal-conscious traveller.
With fully Halal kitchens presenting a diverse range of exquisite meals, and dedicated prayer rooms equipped with accurate Qibla direction, Kwantu ensures that its guests can maintain their religious observances with ease.
"Kwantu's mission has always been to foster an environment where guests can engage with nature while respecting their cultural and religious practices," said Dr Jeeva. "Our guests can relish the grandeur of Africa, confident that their Halal requirements are meticulously addressed.”
Kwantu spans 6 000 hectares of untouched African wilderness in the Eastern Cape, offering its guests a unique blend of luxurious accommodation and captivating wildlife experiences.
