A must-have for outdoor enthusiasts, Stargazing from Game Reserves in Southern Africa offers visitors to game and nature parks an exciting night-time activity in the bush, giving them an opportunity to turn their binoculars skyward after dark.

Readers are taken on a brief celestial ‘game drive’ where the scene is set, and then directed towards the ‘Big Five’ constellations of the night-sky, with clear steps on how to find them. Colourful photos, illustrations and charts as well as interesting fact boxes make for added interest and accessibility.

There is also a chapter on tracking the planets and tips on spotting the moons of Jupiter and the crescent of Venus, and a set of 12 star maps. Written by a seasoned authority on the topic and expertly illustrated, the book also features useful tips and hints for star-watchers in any out-of-town location.
