Sundowners with Lucille

In 2017, our partners at Shamwari Game Reserve will be celebrating their 25th year “conserving a vanishing way of life”. Shamwari’s story is a remarkable one that shows the impact that travel can have on supporting wildlife sustainability in Africa. Since Shamwari opened, they have grown from a small reserve, to one encompassing 25,000 hectares of protected land. Conservation remains at the heart of everything we do at Lion World Travel, which is why we are excited to announce that we will be building a new rhino boma at Shamwari's Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

On March 3rd, we celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants with World Wildlife Day.

Cape Town is Africa’s culinary capital, home to cuisines from all over Africa and the world. For the traveler looking to taste their way through South Africa, there is no better place to start your trip than in Cape Town! The Mother City’s busy culinary scene means that new restaurants, bistros, and cafes open up all of the time, so it can be hard to keep up. That’s why I try to visit as many new culinary hotspots whenever I’m in Cape Town. Here are seven of my favorites from my most recent trip.

In 2018, the readers of Travel + Leisure named Cape Town one of only 15 “World’s Best” cities. Thanks to the Mother City’s unique blend of natural beauty and captivating cultural attractions, it’s easy to see why the city remains at the top of many travelers’ bucket lists. Following an incredible recovery from a water shortage in 2018, in which residents and travelers alike rallied together to save water, Cape Town’s travel and tourism sector is “open for business”! Travelers looking to support sustainable tourism and sample some of Africa’s extraordinary experiences in 2019, should look no further than this astonishing city.
