  • 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.
