Namibia - Bitterwasser

I just returned from my annual glider flying visit to Bitterwasser in
the African
country of Namibia - it is my 14th consecutive season of glider flying
at Bitterwasser -
this past season I flew 6 flights over 1000 km - the longest was 1206
km -
my total flights over 1000 km during the past 14 seasons is 56 (fifty-
six) -
collectively all pilots flew 150 flights over 1000 km from
Bitterwasser this
past season - a new record - surpassing the 130 flights a couple
seasons ago -
if you want the best soaring experience of your life go to

Not much info on glider rental possibilities though.

I found their rental gliders:
ASH 25 E
DG 800
DG 500 M
Twin Astir

It was located in the "Flying" section, under "Requirements", where
you download a PDF.
I don't understand... an owner must bring manuals of the ship in
English and German ? And for all instruments?

Hmm, no conventional 15m or standard gliders available for rent?
Otherwise, sounds very tempting...
