My First Time in Africa: A Safari on the Serengeti

February 9, 2015

By Jordan Knoll

I thought I was prepared for my first African safari in Tanzania—I packed light, brought a good camera, and was ready to become very familiar with my safari vehicle, where I would be spending many hours watching animals. But what I wasn’t prepared for was the feeling of being on safari. It’s difficult to describe, but when you are sitting in your safari vehicle, mere feet away from a lion out on the Serengeti, you feel both tremendously excited and calm. Time seems to slow down, and you acquire a deep sense of connection to the natural world around you that is truly unique. It’s an experience I will never forget, and one that I am delighted to be sharing in this new series of blog posts.

Little Rhino Looks for His Mom

August 28, 2014

By Jordan Knoll

Rhino poaching has reached an unprecedented level: over 1,000 rhinos were poached in 2013 in South Africa, and current estimates indicate that more than 500 have already been lost in 2014.

At Lion World Travel, we want the rhino populations not only to survive, but thrive. That’s why we’ve been working to raise awareness about rhino poaching and its devastating effect on rhinos in Africa with our #ShareIfYouCare campaign.

Help Save the Rhinos

June 19, 2014

If you have experienced a safari you are certain to agree that it is a magical journey of discovery into Africa’s true miracle of nature.

While all of Africa’s wildlife species have their own allure and attraction, for me it is perhaps rhino sightings that are most poignant because of the enormous threat to their existence due to the substantial amount of rhino poaching currently occurring in Southern and East Africa.

What to do about single supplements?

February 24, 2014

By Lucille Sive

Safaris provide the ideal opportunity for tourists to meet fellow travellers. While enjoying a snack on the morning game drive, chatting over sundowners on the evening safari or around the fire after dinner, the discussion inevitably leads to travel experiences!  Recently I’ve met a number of single travelers and the topic of conversation has been the added expense of single supplements.
