Touch the cosmos
The Baikonur Cosmodrome is one of the most significant places in the world of astronautics, where Yuri Gagarin embarked on his flight aboard "Vostok-1" and where the first artificial satellite of Earth was launched.
The tour includes visits to launch complexes, the Space Museum, the underground command post, and other attractions. You will witness the preparation and launch of a rocket

Excursion to the launch pads
There are over 20 launch pads at the Baikonur spaceport. Some of them have been in operation for more than 50 years and have served as the launch point for hundreds of rockets. Other launch pads were designed for special projects, which were not always successful. During the excursion, we will explore several of these launch pads, both from the outside and the inside.
Underground command post
By visiting one of the command posts, you will be able to feel like a rocket engineer pushing the "Start" button to launch a super-heavy rocket into space
The command post is a massive fortified bunker, the size of a football field, which looks like a large mound from the outside. Inside, it consists of several floors with thick walls, heavy doors, corridors, and halls. Such robust protection is provided in case of an explosion or rocket failure, even though the launch pad is more than 3 kilometers away
Tour of the Energia assembly and testing complex
We will see the assembly stands where the Energia launch vehicle was built and tested. We will explore the vast halls where engineers prepared spacecraft for launch and learn how the testing process was conducted. The guide will explain the assembly technology and the fate of the Soviet reusable spacecraft program.
We will take a look at the Gagarin launch site
Tour program
Here, at Launch Pad No. 1 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Yuri Gagarin uttered his famous "Poyekhali!" and embarked on the first human spaceflight. Today, you can experience the atmosphere of this legendary site: see the launch structure where rockets were prepared, look into the shaft from which they soared into the sky, and feel the immense ambition behind the dream of breaking beyond Earth's boundaries.
Visit to the museum complex of the spaceport
The Baikonur spaceport museum will provide the opportunity to delve into rocket engineering, the history of space technologies, and the process of space exploration, as well as see items that have been in space.
The outdoor exhibition will impress you with the size of rocket engines, and by boarding the "Burán" space shuttle, you will even be able to sit in the pilot's seat. Visiting the houses of Korolev and Gagarin will give you an insight into the modest conditions in which the pioneers of the space age lived and worked.

Baikonur
Tour organization
The tower is a special structure that astronauts use to ascend by elevator, as they say, "to the 9th floor," from where they transfer to the rocket. For those who want to challenge themselves with roof-spotting, we will climb the tower at dawn. You will get to feel the unique atmosphere and enjoy the breathtaking view of Baikonur. It promises to be an unforgettable experience, combining adventure with the beauty of the early morning sky.
We will meet the sunrise at the abandoned lift tower!
For more than thirty years, it hasn't moved an inch. This is BTS-002 — a flight-ready vehicle from the Buran program, nearly complete and once prepared for its first mission. It was assembled right here at Baikonur — and here it remains. We'll stand right next to it: just an arm’s length away from a real orbital spacecraft. The structure is still intact — the hull, the cockpit, the thermal protection tiles. You’ll be able to take photos, walk along the fuselage, and examine the details up close.
Your guide will explain how the shuttle was built, why the USSR needed it, and how it ended up abandoned in a hangar where the silence now feels oddly out of place.
We’ve covered the full story of the Buran program — and this specific model, 1.02, which still stands inside the MZK hangar — in our article: Buran 1.02 in the Baikonur Hangar: Where It Is and Why the Project Was Shut Down. If you haven’t read it yet, we highly recommend starting there.

We’re heading to the hangar with the real “Buran” orbital spacecraft
Inside the Assembly and Fueling Complex (MZK) at Baikonur, a spaceplane from the legendary “Buran” program still stands — the 1.02 model, known as “Burya.” It waited for its launch command... but it never came.
Watch a rocket launch at Baikonur!
The highlight of the tour is watching a real rocket launch from a Kazakhstan launchpad — from inside a specially equipped giant yurt that holds up to 400 people.
Let’s gaze at the Baikonur night sky through a telescope
We won't be able to rocket into space, but an exciting journey to the stars awaits us at Baikonur: through a powerful telescope, we'll observe the Moon, planets of the Solar System, binary stars, and star clusters. During the day, we'll take a closer look at the Sun's surface, examine sunspots, and even capture them with a special filter.
Day One
We meet at Kyzylorda Airport or the Toretam railway station, from where we head to the legendary Baikonur Cosmodrome in a comfortable transfer.
Upon arrival, we check into the cozy "Yuzhnaya" hotel and begin our fascinating journey into the history of space exploration. The program includes a visit to the cosmodrome museum, a tour of the orbital spacecraft Buran, and the houses of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin.
In the evening, a delicious dinner awaits, followed by free time to relax and enjoy the tranquility, starry sky, and unique atmosphere of the space town.
Day Two
For those eager for an active adventure, the morning will start with a sunrise viewed from an abandoned tower. Afterward, we’ll have breakfast and head to the launch pads of the cosmodrome, where we’ll learn in detail about the preparation process for rocket launches. Next, we’ll visit the underground command post and walk along the "Road of Life".
After the excursion, we’ll have lunch. Then, we will observe a rocket launch from the Kazakhstan launch pad. A special giant yurt, accommodating up to 400 people, is prepared for the occasion, offering a comfortable space to witness this spectacular event.
In the second half of the day, we’ll visit the Baiterek assembly and testing complex, and then head to a restricted hangar where a real orbital spacecraft from the Buran program still stands. We'll see BTS-002, a flight-ready vehicle that was nearly completed for launch, walk along its fuselage, and learn why it remained waiting for a mission that never happened.
After dinner, we’ll end the day by observing the night sky over Baikonur through a powerful telescope.

It was incredible!
My childhood dream came true - I visited the Baikonur Cosmodrome and felt its atmosphere. 🪐😁☄️
I promise to return for a crewed rocket launch! Wait for me, Baikonur!
Without the team @photosafari.kz, this would have been impossible. Thank you, you are the best! This trip also brought new acquaintances and friends who share my passion for space.
P.S. Why do all the cool moments go by so quickly? I'm stamping my feet in frustration! Also, I heard the news that "Progress MS-27" has arrived at the ISS!

My name is Madikhat. I won a trip to Baikonur in your competition. I wanted to sincerely thank you for this unforgettable experience! The trip was amazing 😍 Everything was perfectly organized. I never thought there would be so many fascinating places there or that it would be so interesting to explore them all. For several days now, I've been telling all my friends and family about this trip.
A special thanks to Damir. He is such a versatile and fascinating person. There wasn't a single moment when I felt bored or wanted to go back. The program was engaging and exciting. Another big thank you to Oleg for his dedication and involvement in the excursions.

Guys, thank you once again for such a unique trip! 🚀 I remember it and tell all my relatives and friends with such emotions, and I realize that all of this is thanks to your thoughtful organization and involvement in what you do ❤️ This is something that will be remembered for a lifetime; Thailand and the Maldives just don’t compare—it’s only about space now! 🪐😁
~Viktoriya
Thank you very much for the tour. I am completely thrilled, especially by the museum and the launch pad. The rocket didn't turn out well in the photo; I think I need to go to another launch 😁 Send me the videos if anyone got good shots. The museum is a must-visit. Everything was organized super well, the food and hotel were 🔥; I was expecting worse! ))
Konstantin
My trip to Baikonur was a truly remarkable event for me. I have always been fascinated by space and dreamed of witnessing a rocket launch. I joined the tour with @photosafari.kz and have no regrets whatsoever.
I didn't expect such an immersion into the world of cosmonautics. I learned a lot of interesting things about the preparation and history of the launch, and even had a chance to talk to several specialists.
The highlight of the trip was the powerful rocket launch. 🚀 I can still remember the sounds and vibrations that pierced me to the depths of my soul. It was something incredible! 🌟

Visiting Baikonur and witnessing a rocket launch has been my dream for many years. 🌠 I decided to make it happen and signed up for the tour with @photosafari.kz. It was simply wonderful! 🌼 I learned a lot about space, as well as about the work of cosmonauts and engineers.
The moment of the launch was breathtaking! 🎉 I have never experienced anything like it—the sound, the fire, and the energy were so powerful! I felt like a part of something great. ❤️ Huge thanks to @photosafari.kz for such unforgettable experiences! 🌌

Hello from Moscow! We’re already home and had a smooth journey back.
A huge thank you to everyone! We had such a warm and interesting group, and it was a pleasure spending these days together. Kazakhstan became a real discovery for us—we now want to return and explore it further.
This was an incredible experience, with emotions that will stay with us forever. Just think—so few people in the world have had the chance to witness this with their own eyes and touch history, and now we are among them!

Even though visiting Baikonur was a must on my personal life list, I wasn’t very well-prepared in terms of theory before the tour.
And I received so much new and fascinating information! Not just learned it, but actually saw it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands! Just imagine—being able to touch objects that have been to space! That in itself is just out of this world!
There were moments when hearing the phrase, "Friends, we have a bit of a situation here..." made my heart skip a beat. 😀

Konstantin, Damir, Malika — huge thanks to you all! It was a cosmic experience and pure joy from start to finish.
Everything was amazing — from the telescope to the rocket launch itself.
You’re not just running a tour — you’re creating emotions and taking people on a time-travel journey to an era when trees seemed taller and we all lived in one country.
A special shout-out to Oleg — the man, the legend, the keeper of the cosmodrome’s history.
See you on the next adventure! 💐🔥🥳

As tourism on the territory of the cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is just beginning to develop, we will be staying at the only hotel located near the launch pads. This is the Soviet-era "South" hotel, where the scientist and designer of space technology M.K. Yangel once lived and worked. The hotel has been renovated, and most rooms are equipped with a shower or bathtub, toilet, and air conditioning. It's really great not to leave the cosmodrome at night and to constantly be in this atmosphere.
We will organize meals on-site ourselves, and we will have a cook with us. The hotel has a dining room. If you do not eat meat or have an intolerance to certain foods, please let us know in advance.
