Pure relaxation is the order of the day here! After a massage in the spa area, you can jump into the cooling pool or let the desert air blow around your nose on a lounger.
There are also plenty of activities on offer. The game drive at Bitterwasser Farm is a great way to observe zebras, giraffes, meerkats and the like. The beautiful sundowner on the large dune is the perfect end to the afternoon.
Namibian nature can also be enjoyed to the full at the lodge! In addition to the herd of antelope, which comes to the waterhole every day with several ostriches and likes to be observed, meerkats, bearded dragons and fox mongooses constantly cross the path. Rose-headed parrots fly through the air alongside weaverbirds and the queen of the night's flower grows on the odd cactus.
The fantastic kitchen conjures up a delicious buffet every evening and takes guests into the culinary worlds of Namibia with the weekly traditional braai evening.
Whether on foot or in the air - Bitterwasser is always worth a visit!
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.
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.
