Cosmic Safari
The African sky comes alive as night falls over our place of glory – creating perfect conditions for a cosmic safari. While they may be light years away, the heavenly bodies seem close enough to touch as Kuzuko offers some of the best stargazing in Africa all because of our off the beaten track location. The trained game rangers trade their binoculars for laser pointers as they guide you through galaxies, pointing out stars, planets, moons and other astral bodies through the lodge’s eight inch stargazing telescope. This uniquely exclusive activity offers the magical experience of viewing not just the majestic Big Five at the lodge, but also the glory of the mystical sky above the lodge.
