Reserve warden, NamibRand
Grew up on a farm inside what is now the reserve and helped survey the light measurements that earned it dark sky status. Naledi teaches southern-sky navigation using both the IAU constellations and the Khoikhoi star lore she learned from her grandmother.
“My grandmother named the same stars differently. Both maps get you home.”
