Traveler Reviews

The trip was wonderful and perfect!! You guys helped us make many many memories.

We all enjoyed our trip to Egypt.  

Being on Safari was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Jean Kadenhe, our Africa Specialist with Lion World Travel provided us the necessary information needed for a successful trip. 

Hi Cheryl,

We’re back!  The entire trip certainly exceeded our expectations, especially on the accommodation side.

Hi Pat,

We have returned from our trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Our accommodations and travel arrangements were excellent in each location, but our safari in Thornybush at Shumbalala Game Lodge was EXCEPTIONAL!

Hi Cheryl,

We had an absolutely amazing time in South Africa. Everything was perfect!!

Dumela Jean,

The trip was wonderful, and the tours were great!

The weather was great, and we hit 100 degrees many times. The camps and staff were first class. We’re so glad we did this big, once-in-a-lifetime trip and we plan on doing many more.

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for reaching out. The trip was absolutely incredible! We had the best vacation ever.

Dear Cheryl,

It was the trip of a lifetime.  We enjoyed every part of it very much.  We generally try to find more inexpensive vacations and do a lot of “drive it yourself” trips.  We had been on several cruises and tours from the ships, but this was the first time that we have really gone first class.  

Hi Laurandie!

This trip was breathtaking, amazing, stunning, astounding, astonishing, awe-inspiring, stupendous, staggering, extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable etc. I mean, the amount of accolades that I could think of, could just go on and on and on.

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for the welcome home message. Bottom line-the trip was out of this world. To show you how good it was, even Joyce loved it.

Cheryl,

We had an amazing trip to Kenya! Thank you so much for putting together this wonderful trip for us.

Elizabeth,

I just wanted to take a minute of your time to thank Lion World Travel and yourself for the most entertaining, exciting, educational, and exquisite trip I or my daughter Jackie have ever been on in our lives.

Dear Elizabeth,

I returned from Tanzania last week, an African safari long the top of my bucket list. To say that the tour arranged by Lion World exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. It was fantastic in every way! I was lucky enough to have my daughter Heather accompany me, and she she (and every single member of the group with whom we traveled) constantly reiterated that.

Good morning Laurandie,

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had in South Africa.

Cheryl,

First of all, let me say that our experiences were amazing, wonderful, outstanding, exceeding our expectations... I don't know the words to describe. Debby uses the word "magical" to describe the Africa holiday.

Hi Cheryl,

I have been meaning to reach out to you to tell you what an amazing time we had.

Cheryl,

Good Morning. Thanks for reaching out. I don't know if there is anything that could have made it any better. Far beyond our expectations.

Hi Laurandie,

What an amazing experience!! We had so much fun. Gibbs Farm was absolutely exquisite and we mentioned that we would stay there longer next time so we could enjoy the farm a bit more.

Hi Cheryl,

The trip was fantastic. Everything went very smoothly. It exceeded our expectations. Botswana in particular has been on our list for a couple years.

Hi Cheryl,

The trip was very good.

Hi Cheryl,

So nice to hear from you. We can’t begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our African adventure. Honestly, everything was perfect and far exceeded our high expectations. We absolutely loved South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. Of course, they were all different, but each country had treasures to enjoy.

Hi Laurandie,

We had an absolutely fabulous time on the trip! Everything worked out even better than we expected. From the hotels to the flights and transfers we were always very happy.

Cheryl,

Sarah and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude to you for organizing our recent safari in northern Tanzania. We will never forget this bucket list trip.

Good morning!

As I am sure you know, it can be a bit overwhelming when you land in another country, but Lion World made it super duper easy.

Hey Cheryl,

We had a blast! Everything you planned for us was great and we are so thankful.

I had the most amazing experience on my trip. What an adventure it was!

Cheryl,

I wanted to thank you and your company for a wonderful experience in Cape Town, South Africa and Kapama Game Reserve.

Hi Cheryl,

We had the best time - EVER! From the very beginning, with your help, all went so smoothly!

Hi Cheryl,

We had an amazing time! We couldn’t have been more pleased with all the accommodations and all of the guides that we had. Our favourite stay was at the Kadizora camp with Greg & Paula.

Hi Cheryl,

Absolutely loved it! We fell in love with Cape Town, so much to see and do. Wonderful accommodations and great location.

Thanks Cheryl,

We had a really great time.

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks so much for your "welcome home" and thanks for the perfect trip. Everything about it was spectacular.

Hi Cheryl,

Joan and I just returned from our South Africa and Victoria Falls trip and I wanted to say "thank you" for a fabulous job of putting it all together.

Good afternoon Elizabeth,

We all just wanted to thank you and your staff for planning the ultimate vacation of a lifetime for us.

Hello Cheryl,

The trip was awesome and exceeded our expectations. Nature is so wonderful to see in person! We understand now how people could repeatedly go on safaris over and over again. Every day was new excitement. This will not be our only safari.

Hi Cheryl,

We had a fantastic trip. The arrangements were great. The game drives were superb. Our driver Lucas was great. We saw all the big five animals.

Laurandie,

I just wanted to thank you and Lion World Travel for one of the best vacations that Dan and I have ever had. We have both been on extensive travels (140 countries between the two of us), and we both agreed that this trip that you planned for us was amazing from start to finish.

Hi Cheryl,

We truly had a trip of a lifetime! We have been on multiple tours before, but were a little apprehensive about a tour with Lion World Travel since we were not having a tour guide with us throughout our trip. We had so many different flights, airport connections, accommodations, etc., we were concerned that all would not go as planned. We even got a new cell phone and International Calling Plan in case we were stranded somewhere and needed to call. But everything did go as planned!

Hi Cheryl,

We had a wonderful time on Platinum South Africa, and are so happy that we did it! The weather totally cooperated all the way through with clear sunny days and some of the most spectacular sunsets we've ever seen.

Hi Cheryl,

The trip was fantastic but the jet lag upon return has hit me hard!

Hi Cheryl,

We had the most wonderful time and joke that we will be moving to Kadizora to help Paula and Greg run their camp!

Cheryl,

You are a gem! Airline seating was perfect - and over the wing, too. We were met promptly at each airport and escorted quite professionally from package to customs to our next plane or vehicle. The Michelangelo is obscenely beautiful - and a bit much for a six hour layover.

Dear Lion World Travel,

Wendy and I are now back in Canada and adjusting to reality after enjoying every minute of our Southern Africa adventure - truly a trip of a lifetime!

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for the welcome home wishes! We had a wonderful trip! The tour was excellent and provided a nice variety of activities and scenic wonders!

Hi Cheryl,

We had a fantastic trip. Lion World Travel's people were exceedingly helpful and transfers went very smoothly.

Lion World Travel,

The trip was truly remarkable. The company and friendships we made, along with the most amazing tour guides, made it a trip I will never forget.

Hi Cheryl,

We had a great trip!

Hi Laurandie,

I hope you are doing well. My mom and I would like to thank you and everyone at Lion World Travel for our amazing trip of lifetime to Kenya and Tanzania.

Just wanted to write to say thank you for the most unbelievable trip of my life.

Hi Cheryl,

Well, where do I start? How do I convey the depth of my delight at having experienced the most beautiful vacation of my life?

Dear Cheryl,

What a trip! We thank you for all you did to make this a very special trip. There was not much we would change and everything came off without a hitch.

It was fantastic! We both enjoyed it very much. I am already planning another trip in a couple of years, and I don't want anyone else but you and Lion World to handle it!

We had hoped one day to go on a safari. When we saw what Lion World Travel had to offer, and the great reviews they got, we decided to book a trip. And we are so glad we did!

Hi Cheryl,

Just wanted to share how very much we've enjoyed this vacation and how grateful we are to you for putting it all together so seamlessly.

Ken and I want to tell you how wonderful the trip was. Everything worked out beautifully and we could not be more pleased with the Marataba Safari Lodge.

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you so much for organizing this trip we had a great time it was one of best trips yet.

Cheryl,

We had an incredible adventure to Africa and your help planning and recommendations were absolutely great.

Hi Jean,

We had an extraordinary experience in South Africa and Zimbabwe! Many thanks to the entire Lion World team for sending us on the trip of a lifetime. Everything — from the hotels and lodges to the activities included in our package to the service and staff — was beyond first class.

Hi Cheryl,

We had a wonderful time! Everything ran smoothly and the trip was an incredible experience.

Dear Cheryl,

Our trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe was fantastic, 10/10! We were very lucky and the weather was perfect the entire trip.

Cheryl, it was our trip of a lifetime! I cannot even begin to tell you how perfect everything was from start to finish.

Hi Cheryl,

It was absolutely amazing.

Laurandie,

Thank you so much, it was so amazing! Everything was perfect. We miss it badly, adjusting to real life is so tough!

Thank you very much, Leeann!

We had an absolutely incredible time and can't say thank you enough.

Good Morning Cheryl,

Thank you for arranging my trip to Cape Town, this was truly an amazing vacation that was also a dream come true, as I did a lot of marching during my college years to "End Apartheid and to Free Mandela".

Thank you Cheryl!

Such a wonderful trip! I have already recommended you and your services to three more people.

Dear Leeann,

Once again thank you to you and everyone at Lion World Travel.

Hi Laurandie,

The trip was absolutely fantastic! Cape Town is so beautiful...so much more than in the pictures. We loved the Table Bay Hotel and the staff, accommodations, food - everything about it was perfect!

Dear Laurandie,

I had a fantastic time in Tanzania, where we saw so many animals that even the guides were amazed at our luck.

Cheryl,

Where do I begin to tell you what a magical trip we had to Africa? Everything was perfect and we never dreamed it would be as fabulous as it was.

On behalf of Ralph and I, we would like to thank you for organizing our wonderful African trip. You were always prompt in answering all of our many questions and we appreciated that!

Cheryl,

We just returned from Africa and wanted to let you know how it was. First, thank you for your efforts. This is the second time we’ve used Lion World and again we’re very pleased with the handling of the trip.

Lion World Travel,

We had the most wonderful time! Everything was planned out perfectly and all accommodations were 5 stars.

Hello John,

Thank you for all your efforts in making our South African vacation a success. We had a great time!

The trip fulfilled our fondest hopes. The accommodations were lovely and the arrangements made by Lion World were simply unbeatable.

Laurandie,

The trip was absolutely fantastic! I've been all over the world and this was my best trip yet. The wildlife was stunning, the people and their service were perfection, the accommodations were exemplary. Our driver was an expert in all the fauna and flora of the 5 parks we visited. The Zanzibar resort with scuba diving was the perfect ending.

Jambo...

It was an amazing trip. The Ngorongoro Crater is stunning and the animal life incredible. The Oldupai Gorge side trip was worth it, it fit into the regular itinerary seamlessly, and I learned a lot in the little museum.

Leeann,

The trip was incredible. What most would call a once in a lifetime experience, however, I am already planning my return trip — as soon as the grandkids are old enough to enjoy it! Everything about the trip was near perfect.

Dear Lion World Travel,

The side trips we booked in Cape Town were great! All the guides were well informed, prompt and personable. The Delta was probably our favorite with the off-road touring and the guide 'Fabulous' was incredible! The married couple that manage the camp were delightful and we felt like old friends.

Hi Laurandie,

We had an absolutely amazing time on our trip! There's really not a single thing we would change...other than to have even more time!

Dear Cheryl,

How do you say 'marvelous' in Canadian? It was everything we hoped for and more.  And the other couples were absolutely delightful.  The accommodations were beyond our wildest dreams and the guides were incredible.  And all the animals came out on cue....even the freeloading monkeys who dropped in for lunch....literally.

Hi Cheryl! 

In short, the trip was AMAZING!  I couldn’t have asked for anything more.  The accommodations were A+.  Our guide, Nicholas, was so knowledgeable and nice.  Just great.  The rooms, the food.  Everything was great.  I was not disappointed by the safaris.  We saw everything we wanted to see and then some.  I have been recommending this trip to my friends.  You just can’t beat it.  Thank you so much for the smooth booking process, as well.

Hi Cheryl!

Yes – our journey was everything we wanted and more.  It was so AMAZING!  From the moment we arrived to the time we departed we were treated wonderfully by all the staff members - hotel transfers, hotel staff, guides, rangers, trackers, etc.  Everyone was so attentive and genuinely kind.  Cape Town was beautiful and Kruger was unbelievable! 

Hi Lion World Travel,

We had a beyond amazing time in Kenya! Everybody we encountered was so warm and welcoming.  Each lodge felt unique, but they were all wonderful. The services and the food were top notch at each lodge

The trip was AMAZING.....seriously the best vacation I've ever been on! Cape Town was beautiful and we learn SO much history about South Africa. We all enjoyed the tours- only down fall is we wanted to stay another day!
 

Lion World Travel,

This was a most incredible adventure. If there were a six star rating, this would get it.

Hi Cheryl,

We're still getting over the jet lag a little bit, but it was such an amazing trip!  Cape Town and Franschhoek were beautiful and lots of fun, but the safari was incredible!  We had an awesome time, took lots of great pictures and have the best memories we could have hoped for.
 

Cheryl,

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!

Cheryl,

All I can say is that the entire trip was spectacular, and exceeded all of our expectations.  From the 12 Apostles to Madikwe everything went perfectly and the attention to detail and service was spectacular.

I commend you for all of your planning with us, and all of the staff in South Africa in making Terri's dream come true.

Laurandie,

Our trip was absolutely fantastic. The schedule was easy going doing at least one safari a day.  We were so pleased to see all the animals we expected to see.   

Hi Cheryl,

WOW-I can't say enough great things, the trip was absolutely amazing-wish we had more time there!

The accommodations were OUTSTANDING and the whole process was so easy.  Thanks for all your help!
