| Stargazing - The best stargazing spots in the land |
The South African Astronomical Observatory, Sutherland, Karoo
The largest observatory in the Southern Hemisphere, situated in an area free of light pollution, with perfect visibility. Visitors admitted by appointment.
Planetarium, South African Museum, Cape Town
Housing 12 projectors, sightings to any time within a 26 000-year range, there is definite ethereal feel as light and sound effects show off the heavens to full beauty.
The Johannesburg Planetarium
View the Solar System and Earth before they hurtled into oblivion. You can also see Egypt before the pyramids and trail the star of Bethlehem.
Karoo National Park
What could be better than watching the celestial beings dance while the wild beings cavort around you? Guided night drives.
Whipstock Farm, McGregor
Here's a farmhouse with a difference:besides the country treats offered, it is home to a 114mm telescope!
Spreeufontein, Prince Albert
This farm near the pretty Victorian Karoo village offers self-catering and telescopes. Instruction is given if needed, but it is more suited for the slightly more knowledgeable stargazer.
