More often than not, our editors return from trips with hundreds – if not thousands – of photos. As was the case with his recent trip to Naimbia's Skeleton Coast, Andrew Harper snapped an abundance of beautiful pictures that couldn’t fit into the pages (print or web) of the December 2015 Hideaway Report. Explore the otherworldly landscapes and exotic wildlife from Mr. Harper's trip to Namibia, below.
