Bitterwasser Lodge and Flying Centre

Glider Flights over the Kalahari Desert

Bitterwasser Lodge is the ideal place for those interested in gliding, especially if you can bring your own glider. The fantastic thermals of the Kalahari desert provide the opportunity for not only incredibly fast, but also exceptionally long glider flights. The Bitterwasser salt pan provides the runway system. A number of world records have been achieved at Bitterwasser, and each one has been marked with a king palm. In addition to this, a new palm tree is planted for every flight over 1000km.

The simple farm infrastructure has been replaced by a new modern Lodge. In addition to the main building with restaurant, lounge, Curio Shop and "Computer Corner", a whole Bungalow settlement with pool as well as the dune house have been added to the original Rondavel settlement for the guests.
