All about passion ...
Gliding Team
Kiripotib Soaring is the gliding team at Kiripotib. We are passionate glider pilots, co-pilots and travel experts who, together with Kiripotib Guest Farm, provide our guests with an unforgettable gliding holiday. We also have a range of professional business experience to ensure the non-flying aspects of your stay are as enjoyable and well organised as possible.
The Namibia gliding season activity (November to January) is prepared well in advance: Reservations of aircraft and accommodation, organising container transport, permissions and regulatory compliance, plus much more. During the season, we manage the flight operations on site, conduct the daily briefings, check flights and help with all technical matters. In short, we are at your disposal with advice and assistance before and during your holiday.
