Founded in 1999 by Peet and Mart Cilliers and Roy Tucker, the Legend group was established with the objective of introducing both South African citizens and international business and leisure tourists to the wide range of diverse attractions that the country has to offer.
The Legend group's extensive portfolio encompasses the vast diversity of South Africa, including its people, languages, culture, stunning landscapes, and abundant wildlife, such as birds and marine animals. The group operates a collection of safari and country lodges, coastal hotels, cultural villages, and shebeens, not only within South Africa but also in Mozambique and Botswana.
