While the concept of "glamping" is not new to Kenya, the "Star Night Magadi" project elevates it to a spiritual level. The owner, Maureen, has constructed a haven that is not just off-grid but "of the grid"—built from the very earth and spirit of the landscape. The "Star Night" concept also taps into the booming "astro-tourism" market. With light pollution erasing the night sky in cities, places like Magadi—with their ink-black nights—are becoming premium destinations. Impact: Putting Magadi on the map as a lifestyle destination, not just a soda ash mining town.
