Selecting of the Juniors for Flying with the Youngsters

It's still a while until the new Bitterwasser season. But if you want to be part of it, you have to decide quickly now. Only a few places are still available in the "Flying with the Youngsters" program.

In Germany, the gliding season has just begun. So thoughts of flying in Namibia may still be far away. But for a successful season in the southern hemisphere, you have to think far ahead and organize everything.
In fact, everything is already in place for the service at the lodge: Michael Stoltze and Dirk Skura are in charge of the flight office. In the main time they experience still another support. And if something breaks down, Manfred Dieterle steps into action in the workshop. Many already know him from the previous season. In the kitchen, Louis is once again responsible for an outstanding menu.
Corona should no longer be a factor at the beginning of November. Everyone in Germany and Europe should be vaccinated through by then. And the staff of the lodge will be too! Nothing then stands in the way of a carefree gliding vacation.
Who the administrators Luzaan and Rodrik van Neel will welcome as guests has already been decided to a large extent.
Most of the interested parties have already registered. The containers have been fully booked for weeks. And with the charter planes it is high time for a reservation, only few time windows are still open.
For those with an interest in safaris: the giraffes and zebras have now been joined by a herd of impalas.

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.
