Hunting Lodge Ovisume
 
The Lodge Kitchen with a great roofed and open terrace Tobias Günzel

3 very exclusive Guest Houses

 

Helmi Günzel, the father of Tobias Günzel, the present farm-owner, decided in 1957 to leave school. At that time, Ovisume was acquired and Helmi made farming his joy of life. Ovisume used to be a cattle farm. In 1975 Helmi could finally begin to materialize his dream by re-introducing extinct endemic game once again and to restore the land into its original natural state. Otjimavare-Süd became available before the independence of Namibia and was purchased to increase the original farm that consisted of Ovisume only, to its current size. After a lot of time and effort had been compassionately expended, Ovisume was transformed into what it is and can offer today - a small paradise.

Tobias Günzel, one of two sons of Helmi and Suse Günzel, was born in the year 1968. After the death of his father Helmi in the year 2004, Tobias took on the leadership of the farm and the hunting business and continues both in the way and sense of his father's. Tobias Günzel, a Master Hunting Guide, is supported with the hunting guiding by Gunnar Oestlund, Johann van Heerden and from time to time also by other professional hunters.

A new lodge was build on Ovisume between the years 2009 and 2011. The lodge is on the banks of the Omaramba Omatako which is a dry river. This means that the hunter can experience the nature and the beautiful sunrise in the morning while he is in the hunting area or he can observe game at sunset. With excellent food, good accommodation and a relaxed ambiance, you the hunter or the non-hunting guest or the non-hunting companion will feel at home in the wild.

Enjoy an extraordinary retreat vastly different from your everyday life and disappear into an unforgettable and intensive experience in serene nature. Let yourself be inspired by Namibia's grand beauty and uniqueness of its fauna and flora. The sunsets with their beautiful variety of colours and the immeasurable skies with their innumerable number of stars supported by the animal noise of the African nights are incomparable. The large variety of species and the unfathomable wideness of the landscape open unlimited possibilities to the hunter.
