'Milky Way in Cool Skies' Namibia

The Milky Way gradually comes into view in a crystal clear sky over our hut at the We Kabi Safari Lodge (Maltahöhe) in central Nambia. The heat was intense even at night and although the thatched roof looked fantastic, the lack of fan and air conditioning made sleep almost impossible.

Outside however the air was cool enough to enjoy just staring at the incredible night sky. This was the darkest sky I’ve ever seen and it depicted the stars and constellations with a clarity that I’ve never before experienced.
