Accepting the award, Lion World Tours President Lucille Sive, said, “It’s marvelous to see our team’s hard work and efforts validated yet again by our partners at South African Tourism. We strive to give our clients and visitors to South Africa as many options and price points as possible and the results have been nothing but positive.
