ERINDI PRIVATE GAME RESERVE, NAMIBIA (AUGUST, 2017)

I spent ten days at Erindi, a tract of land ten times the size of Manhattan, brimming with more wildlife than you could ever dream of. From watching lion cubs play at dusk to seeing a herd of twenty elephants bathe in a mud pool, I felt like I had seen it all. But I was only there for ten days and now I can't wait to go back. From animal sightings to conservation efforts to hospitality, they do everything right: it is paradise on earth.
