Lodges with the Best Stargazing in Tanzania

Because Tanzania sits so far from big cities, some places have superb night skies, and a handful are especially good for stargazing. The Ngorongoro Highlands and the southern Serengeti plains have very little light pollution, and the sky above them is clearer than almost anywhere beyond rural Africa, which is a real treat for anyone who enjoys looking up at night. Skies are normally clearer in the dry season. During the long and short rains, cloud can ruin an otherwise great night of viewing, so take that into account if stargazing is a real priority and not merely a nice extra. Certain camps include telescopes or guided stargazing sessions in their evening program. The result is a naturally dark, clear sky with a guide explaining exactly what you're seeing. Contact us if a great stargazing experience matters to your trip, and we'll recommend properties that make the most of it.
