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!
In early September, the containers holding the gliders for the 2026/27 season were loaded in Waghäusel. Transported by trailer, truck, and cargo ship, the gliders are now on their long journey to Namibia, to the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge.
The Bitterwasser Flying Lodge was the main sponsor of the Junior World Gliding Championships, where from August 2 to 17, 2026, around 80 pilots from 22 nations competed for the titles in the Standard and Club classes. The grand prize for the JWGC winners was a one-week stay at the lodge, including travel and an airplane.
