Springbok and oryx cross your path as you leave the fence that surrounds the accommodation units and the airstrip.
The beautiful flora and fauna of Africa stretches out before you.
It's not just the antelopes that are out and about here.
In addition to the rather small ground squirrels and mongooses, the curious, majestic giraffes are always happy to show themselves!
The shy herds of zebra are also very common.
And there is not only a lot to see on the ground, some animals can also be seen in the air.
The booted weavers can be recognized by their large bird nests in many places, the vultures circle in search of carcasses and the owls are also on the lookout for prey.
At the end of the game drive, the beautiful sunset is a must. On a high dune with a panoramic view over the vastness of Africa, you can watch the sun disappear.
We then return in the dark. A wonderful end to a Namibian adventure!
A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.
Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
