However you decide to wrap your gifts for your loved ones this Festive Season - there is still a way to add a little piece of nature to Christmas Day. We've created some printable gift tags highlighting the beautiful gifts from nature that pass us by - which are so often not noticed. Print out the tags onto card board paper (make sure to print double sided to ensure they have a back to them), cut them out, and finally punch out a whole to thread through a ribbon or some twine.

Guides and Trackers ~ The Power of Relationships ⁠ ⁠ “It’s a pretty intense concoction of factors that create intense relationships in the field team. Day in and day out, trackers and guides spend countless hours together. Planning and taking game drives, tracking wildlife while exposed to the elements. Hours spent looking after guests together, who have travelled across the planet to connect with nature and feel what it is like to spend time in the presence of Africa’s magnificent creatures.⁠ Profound Beauty, Pictures Of The Week, Photographic Studio, Emotional Wellness, Travel Experience

The Legacy Of Guiding & Tracking at Londolozi ⁠ ⁠ There is an incredible beauty in being connected to people you have never met. The moment you qualify as a Londolozi guide or tracker, without even realising it, you become tied to those who came before you. Even though decades may separate your respective times in the team, you now share a connection that I believe is born from reverence.⁠ ⁠ Science And Nature, Tracker, Legacy, Separate, Connection
