Nature Journal Safari
This is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and to create memories through words, sketches and doodles whilst your small group is expertly guided.
If you haven’t yet come across it, nature journaling is the practice of journaling whilst you immerse yourself in nature. It is a practice which really encourages you to slow down and be more mindful about what you see, hear and experience rather than grabbing a phone or camera. These walks are from 10am for two to two and a half hours. You will then return to the hotel for a three course Sunday Lunch. We recommend you bring a folding chair or stool.
