Baki, the young springbok and the four ostriches have been released in the meantime. Since all of them are very territorial, they can often be seen at the waterhole. But they have become much more shy. Baki only allows us to get within 2 meters of him and the ostriches now keep a distance of about 20 meters.
In the background you can see the ostriches.
Namibia obtains most of its electricity from South Africa. There, mainly hard coal power plants are in operation, because South Africa can extract hard coal in opencast mining.
Now the exhaust gases of the South African hard coal power plants are not as well cleaned as in Germany. Therefore it is important to do without this electricity.
This year the gliders will be brought to Bitterwasser in two groups. At the moment no forwarder can guarantee when the containers will arrive. Therefore we have decided to send four containers a little earlier so that they will actually be in Bitterwasser on November 01 for the start of the season.
