Guided stargazing journeys from the desert to the African savanna — with professional astronomers, modern telescopes and the stories of ancient sky cultures. For safari lodges, schools, education centres and individuals.
Safari for the stars
Stargazing with Star Safari is more than looking up. Our astronomers connect what you see tonight with the ancient civilisations that read the same sky — turning constellations into stories you will carry home.
Tailored events
Customised stargazing for schools, individuals and lodges — designed to inspire awe, curiosity and learning far from the city lights.
Private sessions with telescopes — including smart telescopes — take-home photos and interactive Q&A on black holes, planets and more. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts.
Hands-on learning, telescope observation, storytelling and custom programmes, workshops and sky tours. We can visit your site and survey your local night sky.
Bespoke events under African savanna or desert skies — Moon photography, take-home images and talks timed to eclipses, meteor showers and the Milky Way.
Why Star Safari
Our team are experts who love answering every question — from your first constellation to black holes.
Powerful telescopes, a Dwarf mini smart telescope and a 6-inch telescope for crisp views of the Moon and planets.
Smart imaging technology means you leave with astrophotography of the Moon and night sky.
We monitor forecasts, cloud cover and moon phases to pick the best nights for observation.
Through the eyepiece
Safe solar viewing with specialist equipment — sunspots and all.
Craters, mountains and shadows along the terminator, through a 6-inch telescope.
Cloud bands and the four Galilean moons — a favourite with every school group.
Cultural astronomy
Long before telescopes, people navigated, farmed and celebrated by the stars. Our astronomers share the myths, legends and sky knowledge of ancient cultures — preserving the stories of the sky for the next generation.
Coming up
Our stargazing camps bring astronomy, nature, culture and hospitality together — great food and conversation under dark skies. We are developing our first camps in Uganda, with more East African regions to follow.
Clients’ testimonials
Where we go
Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and South Africa — including Karuma Nature Reserve under pristine tropical savanna skies.
Abu Dhabi — Al Dhafra and the Al Bihouth Desert, where the Milky Way rises over the dunes.
Good to know
Everything you need before your night under the stars. Can’t find your answer? We’re one message away.
Guided stargazing with a professional astronomer, telescope viewing of the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies, laser-guided constellation identification, sky stories from ancient cultures and plenty of time for your questions.
Yes. Our experiences are designed for families, children, couples and friends — no prior knowledge needed. Beginners and enthusiasts are equally welcome.
Warm clothing, comfortable shoes and a camera or phone for photos. A little patience helps too — your eyes adapt to the dark and reveal more stars as the night goes on.
Our astronomy presentations typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on group size and how interactive the group is. Larger groups can add more observation time.
Stargazing depends on clear skies. We monitor forecasts, cloud cover and moon phases, and if conditions are unsuitable we work with you to find the next viewing opportunity or suggest an alternative.
Dates can typically be booked up to one week in advance. Bookings with 24 hours’ notice are possible on special request — contact us directly for last-minute availability.
