Mountain Camp Astrology Experience
Join us at Vallley of the Rainbow Fly Fishing Estate and Wilderness Retreat for a stargazing experience.
Sleep over on the top op the mountain with family and friends and experience the wonder of an unpolluted African night sky.
Your experience includes a night in nature sleeping in you own pop-up tent and conversation and meals around a campfire.
The best stargazing opportunities are during a new moon when the moon is not in the sky at night. The night skies can still be enjoyed during other phases of the lunar cycle, however, it can weaken the intensity of stars nearer to the full moon it is in its cycle.
Planning also depends on weather conditions should be met. The best time is during the dry winter months with minimal cloud cover and rain.
