Stargazing from game reserves in Southern Africa offers visitors to game and nature parks an exciting night-time activity in the bush, giving them an opportunity to turn their binoculars skyward after dark.
The author takes readers on a brief celestial ‘game drive’, first setting the scene and then directing them towards the ‘Big Five’ constellations of the night-sky, with clear steps on how to find them.
