Looking at the night sky. The hobby that we seem to have received from our ancestors. A past time that enjoys a special place in our personal history and the history of the world. No matter how many times we look up at the night sky, we are still arrested in awe everytime we catch a glimpse of its wonder.
Too many things were inspired just by mere looking at the night sky. One of such things that have gathered too much controversy and competition is the race towards the moon. Well, now we’re getting too far…
You see, if you want to see clearer view of the sky, go to places where the sky is barren, where it is not blocked by soaring man-made buildings. Where our vision is not flawed by the shimmering lights of urbanization. Go to where it is peaceful. Go to where the night sky is clear and pleasant so you may evoke memories of past and sentiments of the Wisdom that created everything that lies at your sight. Go to African safari and watch the night as it rolls.
One of the most captivating images of night safari are those that depict the Serengeti National Park.
The park is simply vast and endless. The plains flat and the vision, clear. Not only are these suitable for game-viewing, it is also well suited for star gazing.
Serengeti has no other lights except the one that is given off by the moon and slightly contributed by the stars. The nights are clearer here and it is seldom that clouds impede your vision.
Serengeti night safari doesn’t not only provide peace and rest, it also calms the heart. It eases our troubles during the day and it washes the fatigue brought by the tiring journey we took during the daytime.
Whether you are on walking safari, riding the balloon, or driving, the views of Serengeti does not change at all. It is still impressively beautiful as it is during the day. Too much of the wild life activity may be lacking but it is after all, nighttime. Everyone needs to rest except only off course the nocturnal animals.
If you prefer to have a higher view, you may try camping at Seronera Valley for a night.
Though Serengeti is truly full of activities during the waking hours, its main beauty can also be perceived with the night sky. If there is a way to count the stars that surround you during the night, it still won’t work when you arrive at Serengeti for a night safari. They are countless and they number in millions.
