Posted: Sun May 14, 2017 6:10 pm
Happened from February 12th - 18th 2017 at Zulu Nyala in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, The Cosmology on Safari Conference which gathered a number of cosmologists from around the globe, was an enlightening and amazing experience.
Cosmology on Safari focused on the interplay between cosmological models and data, with emphasis on the challenges that remain in cosmology. Topics covered during the conference included:
- Theoretical perspectives on dark matter, dark energy, gravitational theories and gravitational waves, and the early universe including inflation and primordial physics
- Observational probes including cosmic microwave background experiments, large-scale structure surveys, 21cm intensity mapping and global measurements, galaxy clusters, gravitational lensing, supernovae, and baryon acoustic oscillations.

However, the conference programme included optional events such as side trips or excursions, among them was touring Hluhluwe (pronounced Shshulwe) Park, the second largest in the world after Kruger.
