And it needs a fitting end! The turn of the year in Bitterwasser was characterized by a great evening full of nice people, laughter and good food.
After all the guests had eaten their fill of chef Lize van der Merwe's masterfully designed 7-course menu, it was time to head out to the pan. A large, cozy campfire with a bar was waiting there. At midnight, the new year was greeted with a beautiful firework display.
Bitterwasser wishes everyone a healthy and happy 2024!
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.
Largely unnoticed by the public, the 5th Red Bull Global Aerial Performance Camp 2026 took place in Bitterwasser, Namibia, from April 21, 2026, to April 30, 2026.
A few videos and pictures on this page offer a glimpse of the athletes and their performances.
