Summer spoils at Mangwanani Royal Elephant
With summer here, this November Mangwanani Royal Elephant will be the place you want to visit. Besides their classic packages designed to revive and relax you, there are also the November Spoils for you to enjoy.
These spoils include the Relaxing Me-Time Pamper (30-minute head-and-foot massages, just R399 for one person or R760 for two), or the Girls’ Day Out (two 60-minute full-body massages with hot stones, and a slice of delicious cake; and cup of tea or coffee to enjoy with a friend, only R899 for two).
Don’t take our word for it when we say Mangwanani is the best. This is what Precious commented on her client card: “I enjoyed her touch and the energy is very pure. I loved the treatment and the spa is the best I’ve visited so far!”
Go and visit Mangwanani, spoil yourself or a friend with a relaxing spa treatment. Also, don’t forget to pop in at the HOW Market taking place at the end of the month, at the Royal Elephant Hotel and Conference Centre from 10:00 until 15:00. Mangwanani will also be there: they will be handing special offers to attendees.
