Game drive

A game drive through the wilderness of Bitterwasser is a must when visiting Namibia.

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!

1250 km palm tree for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii

The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
