The 2025/26 Bitterwasser season is coming to an end
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the first truck carrying one of our seven containers set off. This marked the end of another impressive gliding season in Bitterwasser.
As a result, Willi already knows many of the lodge's guests. He comes to visit from time to time to see which guests are visiting Bitterwasser this season.
He sometimes shows himself between the bungalows or in the middle of the palm tree avenue.
And the 4 ostriches that were raised in Bitterwasser often show themselves at the watering hole outside the fence and enjoy the cool water. They are also a little more trusting than normal ostriches. They don't immediately run away when you step a little closer to the fence to observe the large birds more closely.
Sometimes you can watch Willi and the 4 ostriches like a small herd as they all come together to the waterhole and enjoy the fresh water in the dry Kalahari.

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.
