National Geographic Traveler today launched its Best Trips 2020 – and selected as one of the 25 best places in the world to visit in 2020 is !Xaus Lodge.  The author of the article, Ana Hogas had this to say about the nominations:

“Now I can reveal to you why I have nominated !Xaus – for the stratospheric access it grants to a Dark Sky Sanctuary, something that is not only a rare find, but also poetic and important to appreciate in our fast-paced screens-always-on world. I hope more people accept to disconnect, even for a brief while, from the modern lifestyle, and connect with the stars, nature, and a deeper sense of belonging. Thank you for the hospitality, for the opportunity and for your entire team’s dedication to preserve and protect such a unique corner of our magnificent planet.”
