No business makes it through a century without constant innovation, and that is especially true in the world of travel. The drive to innovate must be endless, which is why I keep an old roll of film front and center on my desk. This serves as a constant reminder to me – while Kodak made the best film, they failed to innovate as times changed, and ten years after the invention of digital cameras they went bankrupt.

October 21st of each year is Reptile Awareness Day. This often much-maligned class of animal includes snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles and tortoises.
African Penguin Awareness Day is dedicated to raising worldwide awareness about the plight of the endangered African penguin, the only penguin native to the African continent.
This year we could all use a reason to smile, and today happens to be "World Smile Day"! Wherever you travel - Africa, or elsewhere, the language of a smile is universal.
On September 24th we celebrate World Gorilla Day which was started in 2017 to celebrate the gorilla and to take action in protecting them in the wild. That specific date was chosen as it is the same day that Dian Fossey established Karisoke Research Center in 1967.
September 21st is World Gratitude Day. For me, gratitude means thankfulness and counting your blessings, to focus on the abundance of what you already have in your life rather than what your life lacks.
Having been born a Tollman, I suppose it’s no surprise that travel has been such an important part in the first twenty years of my life. Though I grew up and currently live in Los Angeles – while Zooming into college at NYU – my earliest memories are of time spent with my family exploring the bush in South Africa, then later visiting cousins around the world and on family trips like the one above, in Paris.
On August 26 we celebrate Women’s Equality Day and acknowledge the achievements of women’s rights activists. The year 2020 is a pivotal year for advancing gender equality worldwide, as the global community takes stock of progress made for women’s rights. It is a day to commemorate what women have taught us about a future built on the values of kindness, care and trust along with resilience and strength.
On World Elephant Day and every other day, we must celebrate these magnificent creatures in non- exploitative and sustainable environments where they can live free and thrive.
Lion World Travel is happy to celebrate World Lion Day, with some amazing photography that has been taken at many of our partner hotels, lodges and from previous clients. For us, nothing captures the essence of Africa more so than the symbol of the lion. Below are some of the beautiful lions that are awaiting you on your next African safari.
