Break away to the Cederberg for a luxury wilderness escape, and discover the magic of the stars with one of South Africa’s venerable stargazers. Cliff Turk is a member of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the British Astronomical Association, as well as the Society for the History of Astronomy. He is also a partner of the Cederberg Observatory and a keen astro-photographer, and observer of eclipses, variable stars, comets and meteors.

There are few places better than the Cederberg for stargazing. During the Bushmans Kloof Stargazing in the Cederberg getaways, guests will be taken on night drives in an open Land Rover to discover the lunar stratosphere under the night sky.

In contrast to the ancient landscape of wind-sculpted rock formations, the award-winning Bushmans Kloof lodge is an oasis surrounded by natural beauty and priceless ancient rock art site.  It is a safe haven for abundant indigenous flora and fauna, and one of South Africa’s Natural Heritage sites. With a host of enriching, relaxing and well-being experiences on offer, from educational forays to more than 130 historic Bushman rock art sites, to thrilling outdoor adventures and healing spa experiences, guests are spoiled for choice.
