I’ve become far too well acquainted with the interior of my London flat this year, so it’s no wonder I’m longing for huge skies and big, empty landscapes. They don’t get more superlative than in Namibia, where Africa specialist &Beyond offers the chance to admire the night skies with a resident astronomer in the Sossusvlei Private Desert Reserve. Zero light pollution makes for world-class celestial sightseeing in this corner of Southern Africa, and all that desert seclusion and open space will make my home seem as far away as the stars twinkling above.
