Reflections of our South African Adventure 2019

November 14, 2019

Dear Cheryl, 

Our South African adventure may have started as one more place to check off on our bucket list but turned out to be a truly heart filled experience combining love of land, family, and service to others. Our most important decision was accepting the invitation from Guy and Maureen to be part of this experience. Without hesitation we signed up for what would turn out to be a glimpse of an affirmation of the human spirit, a love of the land, its people, and the daily struggle and sacrifice of many to make a living. The fifteen-hour plane ride could have deterred us as well as previous health issues, but as Dr. Van said, “Go live your life” and we did and did not look back.

Spectacular, Magnificent and Awesome. Unbelievable!

December 8, 2014

Hi Cheryl,

Besides seeing the beautiful country of Africa, we saw amazing wildlife (spotting a leopard on our very first game drive; zebras crossing the Mara with crocodiles taking down three of them; a full pride finishing off a kill; two cheetahs lounging by the side of the road, then surprising an antelope in the grass and chasing it; lions mating – after which I got to hear my roar in the wild (there was some doubt my wish would be realized, but it was!); a newly-birthed hyrax; a day old gazelle etc.)

We had an AMAZING time. Easily the best vacation we've ever had. Everything that you arranged - from the hotel transfers, to the guides, hotels, extra trips, etc. - were five stars, and always executed professionally and with the best service possible. We were thrilled by the service provided by yourself, Lion World Travel, and your affiliates in Africa. We won't hesitate to use you again for any future trips to Africa and refer all our friends your way. Do you have a link to your company on tripadvisor? I would love to leave a review.

Of course, the vacation itself was breathtaking - we loved Cape Town and the safari!

Thanks again for everything, Cheryl! You made it so easy for us to enjoy the vacation of a lifetime!

Excellent combination. Will definitely recommend to anyone to go to South Africa and do it through Lion World Travel. It was definitely a smooth transition. Stress free. Can't beat that!
