Game Drive and Sun Downer

In the past Bitterwasser was a farm. There are no cattle here anymore, but game instead. Giraffes and zebras have been settled. Large springbok herds came about without any action. They are now the attraction for the game drives, the safari trips.

At the end are the popular sun downers. Celebrating the sunset. The third large dune is the favored viewing platform. From here the view extends far across the landscape to the horizon. With your feet in the still hot red sand and a cold drink from the improvised bar in your hand, you are more than willing to let yourself be taken in by the beauty of Namibia. A night drive takes you back to the lodge later.

Good News

The SSN (Soaring Society of Namibia) website states that pilots holding a SPL license together with a valid LAPL medical may fly gliders with European registration in Namibia. Previously, the more complex Class 2 ICAO medical was required. The SSN point out that no definitive, valid statement can be made for neighbouring countries such as Botswana or South Africa.

For glider owners: Please check with your insurance company that this is in accordance with your insurance contract.
