Sundowners with Lucille

Observing International Women’s Day this month, we explore our CEO, Lucille Sive’s journey and the African women who inspire her. Coincidentally, Lucille shares her birthday with International Women’s Day on March 8th.

What a wild year 2020 was. We had many amazing photos and videos come in for the #LionWorldTales contest between October 2019 and February 2020.  Then travel slowed down, and was put on pause. Still, you managed to share some great safari photos from years gone by, and we are thrilled to finally present these 12 monthly winners for you to vote on for the grand prize.

Whomever receives the most votes will will an Apple Watch, good luck to all!

Dear Traveler,

There seems to be some more positive news in the past couple of weeks. With the continued good news on the rolling out of the vaccines, we are looking forward to a renewed interest and better peace of mind for our travelers as we all get ready to hit the road again in 2021. It would be nice to think that we are all seeing some green shoots of normality.

With the new year fast approaching, I think we can all agree that this year has not turned out the way we planned. Upon reflection, I also know that we have so much to be thankful for as well. During the past nine months, I have often thought about one of my favorite African proverbs, “However long the night, the dawn will break.”

It’s time to look forward cautiously and confidently. Although many of us have had to postpone our travels, dreaming about traveling has never stopped. Whenever you’re ready to travel, Lion World Travel is ready and waiting to help you plan the safari of your dreams.
