The fabulous unpolluted night skies of Namibia, Southern Africa, are world renowned and have led to this country becoming a magnet for northern based amateur astronomers seeking to savour the far south objects invisible from their latitude. This has led to a number of establishments offering some astronomy opportunities either through hosted observing sessions or specifically aimed at amateurs bringing their own equipment.
