Christmas in Bitterwasser – at 33°C and glorious sunshine
In Europe Christmas is usually associated with cold temperatures, early sunsets and, in the best case scenario, snow. In Bitterwasser, the world looks very different.
Namibia is known for its spectacular sunsets. Dust particles in the air give the evening sky its characteristic fiery red hue. In combination with the dry, clear air and the sheer endless expanse of the country, a play of colors unfolds that makes every evening an unforgettable experience.
In Bitterwasser, such magical moments can be observed regularly - whether from the ground or in the air. Landings are possible up to 15 minutes after local sunset (but not a second longer!). This period offers the perfect opportunity for spectacular shots in which the setting sun, dark clouds and the contrast of the landscape create impressive scenes.
