The Southern African Large Telescope, or S.A.L.T, is located just a few hours from Cape Town and is the largest telescope in the Southern Hemisphere. The skies are clear here, light pollution is minimal and the vast Karoo landscapes make for spectacular settings. The small towns in this dessert region are a relic of the past and Shepherds can be found herding their livestock along the road. A pro photographer will accompany you to assist. This is suited to all skill levels.
*Optional consultation for us to learn about your skill level to give the best assistance
