In today’s fast paced and over populated world, staring in to the infinite abyss of space is the perfect form of escapism to find peace and solace in the chaos.

Celestial Events SA is based in Hoedspruit and owned by Ben Coley, a Professional Field Guide and Astronomy Educator. For nearly 2 decades, Ben has entertained his guests with tales of the heavens as a part of their safari experience and has authored FGASA’s (Field Guide Association of Southern Africa) Specialist Astronomy Qualification.
