12 Best Places to Stargaze Around the World

"The largest game reserve in South Africa, encompassing over 7,500 square miles, is famed for sightings of the Big Five and luxury safari lodges; its remote location and lack of light pollution also yield impeccable night-sky viewing. The flat savanna and bushveld provide ideal terrain for training binoculars on Southern Hemisphere features such as the Southern Cross, Scorpio, and the rings of Saturn. Adding a nighttime astronomy experience to a game-drive itinerary is recommended." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
