The view from the glider is anything but one-sided. The landscape is constantly changing.
Around Bitterwasser, the Kalahri shows itself from its most beautiful side. The endless expanse in all its glory.
Flying westwards, a mountain range separating the Namib and the Kalahari extends beyond the desert. Both deserts extend into the south of Namibia. And the Namib Desert also has a lot to offer. In some parts there are sand dunes - some of the largest dunes in the world.
The landscape in the north is somewhat different. The climate becomes more humid, making the landscape a little greener.
If you look closely over Namibia, you can see not only the fantastic landscapes, but also the wildlife. Herds are on the move and can be observed from above.
Namibia has a lot to offer and is an absolute dream for flying enthusiasts.
Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.
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.
