Announcing the Winner of our "Wild Wonders" Contest!

Dana Epstein of El Dorado Hills, Calif., had a lifelong dream to travel to Tanzania, but she never imagined she’d be the lucky winner of our Wild Wonders sweepstakes we offered last winter. Over the next five years, Epstein will enjoy five remarkable international nature adventure trips for two, to destinations including Antarctica; South Georgia & the Falklands; the Galapagos Islands; Churchill, Manitoba; the Amazon & Machu Picchu; and Tanzania — for a total prize worth more than $90,000.

“I can’t even begin to describe how excited I was to learn that I’d won the Wild Wonders contest,” says Epstein. “I’ve won a few small prizes in my life, but nothing can compare to this! My husband and I are especially grateful because we’ve always wanted to take a nature expedition but never had the opportunity. I feel it’s really important to be considerate of nature, animals and their habitat, because this planet is all we have and if we harm it we’ll never have it back again. I believe eco-travel creates more respect for the earth and a deeper understanding of our environment. All five of the destinations are wonderful and we’re still figuring out the itineraries, but traveling to Tanzania has been a lifelong dream and I’m especially looking forward to traveling there.”
