Sundowners with Lucille

Protecting Africa's rhinos from wildlife crime is one of the issues we care deeply about at Lion World Travel. That's why we support organizations like the Shamwari Game Reserve, where they work very hard to ensure that the rhino species will remain in Africa for generations to come. Learn more about the fantastic conservation work they are doing in this newly released documentary.

We are excited to welcome Jean Kadenhe to the Lion World Travel team. Jean is originally from Zimbabwe, but has spent time living and traveling all over Africa. She has worked in the travel industry for the past 8 years and, as she puts it, has enjoyed selling Africa to anyone who sits next to her. We sat down with Jean to learn more about her background and her favorite safari experiences.

Lions are one of Africa’s most recognizable animals and for good reason: more than any other animal in the African wilderness, lions signify courage, strength and power. The ancient Egyptians saw these traits in the wild lions of Africa and used them as symbols in their own culture—the legendary sphinx features the head of a human and the body of a lion, for example.

Here at Lion World Travel the lion is the center of our brand and the name for our particular lion is "Lionel". In addition to the symbolizing strength and courage, he also embodies playfulness: take a close look at our logo and you will notice that Lionel’s tongue is lolling lazily out of his mouth.
