I use Lion for our corporate travel bookings in Australia (and my holidays at the end of the year!). I have made about 50 bookings in the last year and the professionalism and level of service received has well and truly exceeded my expectations. Having previously self-managed travel, I didn’t realise how valuable a true executive travel agent is. I love being able to send a quick email and be confident that I’ll have everything organised for me with minimal effort. I’ve been caught out by border closures and other COVID dramas and each time these were managed quickly, easily and without stress. When others were spending hours on the phone waiting for airlines to answer, I just contacted one of the Lion staff and everything was fixed immediately. Amazing service, amazing prices and amazing experiences.
I took my first trip to Africa in 2022 and it was absolutely amazing. I initially wasn’t sure where to go or where to even start, however as soon as I spoke to Dan, I was supremely confident of an amazing trip. He has a wealth of African knowledge that no shop front agent could have. He knows where to go, what to do, where NOT to go and has been there so often that he’s grasped all the nuances. I had an amazing safari, visited incredible restaurants in Cape Town, stayed in great accommodation, visited cool wineries and it all ran perfectly. I even had a flight cancellation due to weather and, rather than waiting in line with the masses, a quick text back home had me rebooked on another flight with another airline in minutes. I could never have organised such a trip by myself, and it was so much more affordable than expected. I’ve since used Lion for trips to Fiji and Bali and managed to get great accommodation at amazing prices. They’re my definite go to for all travel needs!

I have just returned from 4 weeks travelling around USA. It was very overwhelming as this was the very first "BIG" trip for me.Dan, from Lion Around Africa arranged absolutely everything for us with the utmost professialism, patience and knowledge.It was a very involved itinerary taking in many cities, cross country flights , accomodations for 6 adults.He secured us some amazing prices for accomodation and suggested geat ideras on the areas we wanted to stay in. Explained the pro's and con's of our choices of areas in big cities and when needed suggested we consider other optionsTo top it off we received a travel folder with unique bag tags , acces to a travel app and a step by step itinerary which made our day to day planning a breeze. Well done Dan, our trip would not have been as wonderful if we hadnt utilised your services. To top it off his services are free!!!I have no hesitation in recommending your services and look forward to engaging you againKaren

The principal at Lion Around Africa, Dan has arranged 4 pretty incredible trips for my family and I so far! As a price savvy traveller with restricted travel schedule he’s always delivered for me within budget and the best result! I have gotten to see Hobart on a 5* yet budget package for less than $750 including airfare for a three day weekend and it was amazing.Adelaide on a weekend last minute with hotel and airfare for less than $500 and the Holiday Inn Express Adelaide is astonishingly good. Launceston is another destination package I got to see thanks to Dan for two days, I honestly can’t remember the price but it was really good! And he’s been able to send my family to Canada while we have very very very limited international travel!
