Given the quality of the star-gazing on offer in the middle of the desert it ishould be no surprise that we have a resident astronomer on site. Our state of the art observatory comes complete with a Meade LX200R 12 inch telescope which makes this the ideal place to gaze in awe at the wonders of the clear desert sky.

With the nearest town 140 km (87 mi.) away from the lodge, there are no sources of light pollution and the reserve’s sky is one of the darkest yet measured in the world.
