When the sun's disk disappears behind the horizon, a wonderful spectacle unfolds. Sometimes with illuminated clouds, sometimes without.
Of course, the best way to watch the sunset is from an airplane.
But even as a pedestrian, there are many places in Bitterwasser where you can watch the sun disappear.
The small hut at the end of the Palmallee invites you to sit down and enjoy the evening hours.
The walk at dusk through the palm alley is an additional highlight in the evening.
At the end of the game drive, the Bitter Water Safari, you can also relax on a high dune. Here you have a panoramic view of the wilderness around Bitterwasser.
The sunset is a new delight every evening!
The SSN (Soaring Society of Namibia) website states that pilots holding a SPL license together with a valid LAPL medical may fly gliders with European registration in Namibia. Previously, the more complex Class 2 ICAO medical was required. The SSN point out that no definitive, valid statement can be made for neighbouring countries such as Botswana or South Africa.
For glider owners: Please check with your insurance company that this is in accordance with your insurance contract.
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.
