  • “Out in the Namib Desert, you’re confronted with a ceiling of stars so luminous that it will take your breath away. Stargazing at a luxury tented camp in the NamibRand Nature Reserve ushers in the perfect ending to the day, with some of the best views of the Milky Way enjoyed in a completely remote setting.”
