Veronica Gliding Center

What Travelers Love

• Exceptional Gliding Conditions: Namibia's hot and arid climate provides excellent thermal conditions perfect for long-distance gliding, with flights of 300-500 km being common and 1000 km achievable. The center is strategically located for early starts and record-breaking potential.
• Luxurious Accommodation: Travelers appreciate the Veronica Lodge, which offers luxurious en-suite chalets perched on a dune, providing privacy and panoramic views of the Kalahari savannah.
• Professional Staff and Hospitality: The staff is consistently described as highly professional, friendly, and helpful, contributing to a well-organized operation. Guests commend the exceptional service and attention to detail.
• Well-Maintained Gliding Facilities: The center features two (or four) extra-length runways for comfortable take-offs and landings, a dedicated hangar, a workshop, and individual aircraft parking spots equipped with water, electricity, and light. High safety standards are maintained through pilot briefings, flight information services, and regular maintenance.
• Stunning Scenery and Wildlife Encounters: The location in the Kalahari desert offers spectacular views from the glider cockpit and opportunities to spot animals from the lodge or during game drives.
• Excellent Food: The catering receives high praise, with one reviewer humorously noting the food is "so good that if you stay long enough you are not allowed to take any water ballast."
