Travel Testimonial
"I recently returned from the “Best of Cape Town and Botswana” trip and highly recommend it...Every part of our itinerary worked out exactly as planned, and Lion World’s partners on the ground in S. Africa and Botswana were helpful, punctual, and professional...Wildlife viewing was extraordinary, even to the point where, on separate occasions, both a lion and a leopard sauntered over to enjoy the shade under our vehicle."
