Stargazing

Lose yourself in the vast African night sky above Lion Sands, where darkness makes stars shine brighter. Far from city lights along the Sabie River, stars and planets you've never noticed emerge during evening game drives and bush dinners. The universe unfolds, connecting you to travellers who found their way by these same stars.

Stories Written In Stars

Your field guide shares constellation stories - how the Southern Cross guided ancient navigators, how different cultures saw the Milky Way as a river of light. During evening game drives, pause as darkness deepens and the sky comes alive above you. Later, dine by lantern light as shooting stars streak overhead and satellites cross silently through the darkness.

Treehouse Stargazing

Experience the ultimate stargazing from Chalkley, Kingston, or Tinyeleti Treehouse - elevated hideaways above the bush. You'll find a comfortable bed, gourmet picnic hamper, and drinks cooler waiting for you. Dine on your deck as the sun sets and the first stars appear. Then fall asleep beneath the universe, nothing between you and infinite stars. Wake at dawn to birdsong, the memory of a night spent closer to the stars than you've ever been.
