Activities

Numerous activities can be done while saying at Rooisand. 

The famous star gazing tour at Rooisand is a guided astronomical observation using one of the world’s best amateur telescopes. Explore the Namibian crystal clear sky, open star clusters, visible planets or the surface of the moon.

There is also the very nice planet hiking trail where a model of our solar system has been set up along the path stretching between the ranch and observatory.

Other activities include scenic drives, sundowner tours, excursions to rock paintings, visits to mineral sites, guided walking and clay pidgeon shooting. 

A special activity is the guided drone flying safari which allows guests to head out into the wilderness to capture aerial footage with their own drone. For guests who don’t have an own drone Rooisand offers flight lessons with a Mavic Pro Platinum drone. All pictures and footage taken during these flight lessons will be made available to guests.
