Your Questions, Our Answers

Each tour includes a guided stargazing experience under the pristine Karoo sky. You’ll look through a high-quality telescope to see the Moon, planets, star clusters, and deep-sky objects while learning fascinating stories — from modern astronomy to ancient Khoisan and Khoikhoi star lore.

If weather conditions prevent stargazing, we’ll first try to reschedule your tour for another evening. If rescheduling isn’t possible, a refund will be issued.

The Karoo’s weather is usually clear, but we always keep guests informed of any changes.

To make the most of your night under the stars, we recommend bringing:

• Warm clothing – Evenings in the Karoo can get chilly, even in summer.
• Closed shoes – For comfort and safety when walking in the dark.
• Camera or smartphone – You’re welcome to capture the night sky and your experience.
• Curiosity and questions – Bring your wonder for the universe!
  
  

To preserve the dark sky and everyone’s enjoyment, avoid:

• No laser pointers – Only the guide uses one for sky pointing.
• No loud music or speakers – We keep the atmosphere peaceful and natural.
• No alcohol or smoking during the tour – It affects focus and the shared experience.
• No pets – Sudden movements or sounds can disturb the group and wildlife.

Depending on the time of year and moon phase, you may see:

• The Moon and its craters in stunning detail
• Planets such as Jupiter and Saturn
• Star clusters like the Jewel Box and Omega Centauri
• Nebulae and galaxies millions of light-years away
• And of course, the Milky Way 

Yes! We offer private astronomy evenings for couples, families, schools, and tour groups. We also host special events during festivals and celebrations
