  South Africa has some of the best night-sky viewing on the planet — and these lodges put the cosmos front and center.

The article from Travel + Leisure highlights South Africa as a prime destination for stargazing due to its clear skies and minimal light pollution. It features several luxury lodges that offer unique stargazing experiences:

  • Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve in the Cederberg region provides a "Star Suite" with a retractable roof for unobstructed views of the night sky, along with guided stargazing tours.

  • Grootbos Private Nature Reserve near Cape Town offers a Star Deck for guests to enjoy the stars, complemented by educational sessions on astronomy.

  • Samara Karoo Reserve in the Eastern Cape has a Star Bed experience where guests can sleep under the stars, with the option for guided stargazing.

  • Tswalu Kalahari in the Northern Cape provides a Star Bed experience and a private observatory for guests to explore the cosmos.

  • Babylonstoren in the Cape Winelands, while not primarily focused on stargazing, offers a serene environment conducive to enjoying the night sky.

    These lodges not only provide luxurious accommodations but also enrich the experience with educational and immersive stargazing activities, making South Africa an exceptional place for both amateur and seasoned astronomers.
