NIGHT SAFARI

STAR GAZING

The majority of people who live in cities are unable to observe the beauty of the night sky because pollution prohibits any form of star-gazing. Naturally then, one of the highlights for many of our guests is a chance to observe the unobstructed splendor of the Milky Way. The sky above the forest is clear and free of any pollution, so there is good visibility. All stargazing at Pench is tailored to our guests’ requests – either by the naturalist whilst on night safari, or by one of our senior guide who can set up a telescope to take you on a dedicated sky safari.
