Lucille Sive on Safari in South Africa

The Lion World Travel Blog

Welcome to the blog of Lion World Travel's President, Lucille Sive. In this space, Lucille shares stories (both her own and others) as well as insight from her extensive adventures in Africa.

A sundowner, in colloquial British English, is an alcoholic drink taken at sundown. Think of "Happy Hour" while in Africa. It is common on the evening safari to stop for sundowners as the sun sets. Your guide stops at a scenic spot for everyone to enjoy drinks and snacks while enjoying the sunset and chatting about the day’s events, before continuing with a spot-lit night drive and heading back to camp. Stay tuned to this space for all you need to know about traveling to Africa, including casual chats with Lucille, expert travel tips, and recommendations.

Who Knew? 7 Marvelous Meerkat Facts

Meerkat Family
March 16, 2018

By Lucille Sive

Meerkats are one of Africa’s most well-known small mammals. Meerkats are sometimes hard to see on safari, but when you do, they always make for a fascinating sighting. Their fun social behaviour and iconic stance (resting on their hind legs to survey the terrain around them) is always a delight to behold.
