Omongongua Hunting FarmThe Fischer FamilyMy grandfather came to Namibia in 1910, initially only to serve in the German protection force. After his military service though, he stayed in Namibia, and our cattle and hunting Farm Omongongua (the Red Wasp) with approx. 6000 acres has been in the family since 1926. I, Helmut Fischer, was born and raised in Namibia, in close connection with the wonders of our rich wildlife. I shot my first Kudu bull when I was 12 years of age. As owner of the Omongongua Hunting farm and certified hunting guide, I feel bound to the tradition of fair hunting. Since early youth, I have been travelling through my
country, as well as Botswana and Zimbabwe far from the beaten path. I am
intimate with plant - as well as wildlife and speak, apart from my mother tongue
German, English and Afrikaans. My wife Gabi is a Brazilian with German
heritage, that came to love Namibia and myself, and has been at home here
ever since. For better understanding: In American English, our farm
would be called a Ranch, since we mainly raise cattle.
