#Londolozi Through Your Eyes: 25 Instagrams of Your Londolozi Memories

“What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty” – Alain de Botton

As the great Albert Einstein wrote, “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” These words have always been a sort of mantra to me. It’s easy to fall into the trappings of modern society – we have all been there. The physical objects created by mankind bring only a fleeting happiness… The real happiness that Einstein writes about comes from the achievements we set for ourselves and from the experiences we share.

It is therefore applicable for me to share a few of the photographs of people who have visited Londolozi and shared in experiences, that to me, bring real happiness. Shared on Instagram these images are taken by guests and rangers and show us a few of your wonderful memories.

Enjoy our selection and remember to share some of your Londolozi memories by using the hashtag: #londolozi.
