When To Visit Namibia:

If there’s one place on Earth to look up above, it’s Namibia. With next to no light pollution and vast open skies, this is one of the best destinations in the world for stargazing. On a clear night, away from the city lights, the Milky Way feels so close you could almost touch it.

The NamibRand Nature Reserve is Africa’s only International Dark Sky Reserve and offers ideal conditions for observing the night skies! Beyond the reserve, the stargazing feels just as exceptional. Several lodges and camps across Namibia embrace this natural wonder, providing exceptional stargazing opportunities to travellers who’d like to see the universe on full display. Knowledgeable guides can lead you on celestial journeys, pointing out constellations, planets, and even distant galaxies as you gaze through powerful telescopes. Simply standing and taking in the views with the naked eye is a great way to fully absorb the experience. Properties such as Sossusvlei Desert Lodge and Wilderness Little Kulala have modern on-site observatories on site and exciting features like star-beds and stargazing skylights.

Whether you are an avid astronomer or simply appreciate the beauty of the night sky, stargazing in Namibia is an unforgettable addition to your safari adventure.
