Hierarchy

Date: 2022

Location: Erindi Private Game Reserve, Namibia

Baboons are highly social animals that live in complex societies. They are known for their hierarchical social structure, which is based on dominance and submission. This structure is established through aggressive displays and physical interactions such as threats, grooming, and vocalizations. Dominant baboons hold higher social status and have priority access to food, water, and mating partners. They also play a key role in protecting the group from predators and other threats. Lower-ranking baboons often form alliances and seek to improve their social status through grooming and affiliative behaviours. Despite the competition and aggression within the group, baboons also exhibit strong bonds and display affectionate behaviours towards each other, particularly within family units.

Erindi Private Game Reserve is a stunning and diverse wildlife reserve located in Namibia. It spans an area of over 70,000 hectares and is home to a vast array of wildlife, including some of Africa's most iconic species.

One of the most striking features of Erindi is its dramatic and rugged terrain, which is characterized by rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and vast savannahs. The landscape is also dotted with a number of waterholes, which attract a wide variety of animals, making it an ideal location for game viewing and photography.

Erindi is home to over 10,000 head of game, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, and many others. The reserve is also renowned for its birdlife, with over 300 different species recorded within its borders.

Overall, the beauty of Erindi Private Game Reserve lies in its diversity and natural splendour. From its dramatic landscapes to its incredible wildlife and rich cultural heritage, Erindi is a truly special place that showcases the best of what Africa has to offer. Whether you are a nature lover, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, Erindi is a destination that should not be missed.

Secure delivery: Because the packages provided by the supplier are so protective, prints are rarely damaged. However, if a package does arrive damaged and the print is also damaged, you can contact me directly by email. You’ll need to photograph the package and the print and send the details to hello@carelsteenkamp.com along with your order number and tracking info.

Delivery time: Orders ship out within 24 hours of your purchase, but can take up to 15 days to arrive, so please have patience. I'm using the trusted service of theprintspace located in London, UK. They're incredible, but only offer Flat Rate Worldwide shipping, which is limited in terms of order tracking numbers. Keep in mind that I'm all alone in trying to manage the print store right now, but I promise, you will get your print!

Estimated Average Shipping Times. 

• Europe: 3-5 Days
• USA & Canada: 7-9 Days
• Rest of the World: Up to 10 Days 

As a final request, please consider emailing me only after 15 days from the day you purchased. 

Exchanges & Returns:

Straight refunds are not accepted as these are limited edition prints, but I’m confident you’re going to love the print and cherish it forever. But if it isn’t what you expected, or it’s somehow damaged you can exchange it. Once the package is delivered, you’ll have 5-days to notify me via email at hello@carelsteenkamp.com if the print is either damaged or if you’d like to exchange it for another of equal value.

Shipping is free if the print is damaged, but if you want to exchange the print, you’ll need to cover the shipping costs, plus the difference in the cost of the prints. No discount will be given if the print you want to exchange is worth more than the one you wish to replace it with.

All images are to help estimate the size of the print. No prints arrive with frames. Refer to the Size Chart for more information about measurements.

Prints arrive ready for a standard store-bought frame, although custom framing is recommended for the Extra Large prints, as there is no border and the frame must fit perfectly.

Small = 100

Medium = 50

Large = 25

Extra Large = 10

All prints are limited edition. Once the edition sells out there is never going to be another printed. Ever.

The prices of the prints will never drop, however, I will be releasing discount codes every so often.

The prices of the Large and Extra Large size variants will increase in price as they get closer to being sold out. If you are interested in purchasing these sizes, make sure to buy them as soon as possible, because there is a chance that the price might increase tomorrow!

Secure payment: Card details are never stored and if using PayPal, I’ll never have access to any of your sensitive payment details. Everything is handled through Shopify and is fully encrypted.

Edition numbers: All prints are limited edition. Once the edition sells out there is never going to be another printed. Ever. At this time I can not accommodate special requests for specific edition numbers. Although it is a common practice when purchasing through galleries and exhibitions to ask for a specific edition number, the ordering system that I currently have in place does not allow for easy modifications after the order is placed online. For artwork that has a history of sales, you may receive a random. As such, if you order two prints of the same image, you might not get consecutive edition numbers. For example, you might get Edition 5 of 10 and 1 of 10 for the same image even though you order the prints at the same time and even if the print appears to be almost sold out online. 

Why don't you offer framed options? Great question! I feel it's important to share why I only offer print-only products. Unfortunately, it is really much more expensive to buy a frame with your print. Not only is the frame expensive, but shipping also increases drastically. It will be much cheaper to buy a standard store bought frame than pay an unnecessarily large amount for a frame on this site. Besides that, all my prices have been calculated to include free worldwide shipping, something that simply would not be possible if I had to sell frames as well. That all being said, if you do wish to order a frame with your print, feel free to contact me.
