Merry Christmas

Fir trees do not grow in Namibia. Nevertheless, we didn't do without a Christmas tree in Bitterwasser. It stands a bit bony in front of the reception, but it is all the more colorful.

And still, developing Christmas feelings at around 35 degrees in the shade is difficult. But there are completely different gifts on the gift table here. Where can you make yourself happy with a nice cross-country flight on Christmas Eve? Our “Merry Christmas!” Is therefore sent from a completely different background to all friends around the world.

The first guests can arrive!

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.

Leveling the Landing Area

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.
