"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.
