Astro Tourism
Eliye
Springs Resort is only 305,27’ North of the Equator. Unlike most places in the world around the Equator, Eliye has usually crystal clear nights with no light- or air- pollution. A perfect location to study the Northern- as well as the Southern star-sky.
Due to our optimal conditions, our eyes can see up to 6000 stars, 3000 on each Hemisphere. Compared to middle Europe with a maximum of 500-1000. Eliye Springs Resort on Lake Turkana is therefore an ideal place for Astro Tourism. For full excitement a Telescope however is a must.
