Good morning Bitterwasser!

Now that the sun has risen over Namibia, Bitterwasser is also starting the day!

The flight office is already preparing at 7:30 am. And the restaurant is also in the starting blocks.
The breakfast buffet opens at 8:30 am. A large selection gives all visitors to Bitterwasser a good start to the day.

The morning briefing starts at 9 am. Updrafts, thermals and clouds are presented in various graphics.

Strengthened with food and knowledge, it's off to the gliders.

One by one, the gliders roll into the pan and then take off into the vastness of the Kalahari Desert.

Have a good flight!

Go back

What a start to the season!

The early birds did it. Elmar Fischer and Reinhard Schramme struck in the first few days. Here is Elmar's report:

Loading of gliders in 2025

On the weekends of September 6/7, 2025, and September 13/14, 2025, 30 gliders were loaded into seven containers to begin the long journey to Bitterwasser, Namibia.

All gliders are very well booked. There are still a few slots available at the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact  hog@bitterwasser.com.
