My first time hunting in Africa with my father was a memorable one to say the least. Gert and Marina Muller made us feel at home at the Otjinuke Ranch from the first day. Their staff was friendly and professional. The ranch was well maintained, the food and the game were plentiful. The terrain was challenging as it was covered with tall grass and plenty of thorns. Over the course of our 9 day hunt we collected 7 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 bronze medals between the 3 Oryx, 2 Blesbok, 2 Springbok, 2 Warthogs, and kudu and the new #1 ranch Waterbuck. For those seeking a quiet place to get away and wonderful place to hunt I would recommend the Otjinuke Ranch to anyone. Thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Mark Cromwell, New Hampshire, USA |

In April of 2009 I hunted with Gert and his staff on the Otjinuke ranch. It was a dream come true and a truly amazing hunt. I was not disappointed in the number of animals or the quality or game. The hardest part of the hunt was choosing which animal to hunt. I was very pleased with all who helped at the ranch. My PH was absolutely incredible and had many years of stories to tell. The trackers were exceptional and did the most amazing job tracking on some of our animals. The cook, skinners, housekeeping etc. were top notch. Gert made us feel so welcome and at home. It was absolutely the best time. I was so pleased that I am trying to make it back in the next year or two. I would recommend this hunt experience for anyone who is wanting to have the best plains game hunt available. Dave Houston, Pleasant Grove, Utah |

My son and I hunted with Gert Muller of Otjinuke Hunting Ranch for 12 days this August of 2007. As a long time hunter who has worked both ends of this sport (guide and hunter) this hunt was a dream come true. Everything that Gert informed about his ranch was accurate. Gert treated both my son and I like family and went out of his way to insure that all of our needs were met. The lodging was extremely nice and private, the food was excellent and plentiful, the ranch staff was very friendly, and his professional hunter, trackers, and skinners did an excellent job. What a selection of animals, both in numbers, different species, and in the quality of the trophies available. And you do hunt his animals, with my son and I using the spot and stalk method. We were very successful using this method, with my son harvesting four nice trophy animals and myself harvesting five trophy animals. Basically, this hunt with Gert Muller of Otjinuke Hunting Ranch surpassed all of my expectations and I would highly recommend this ranch to anyone looking for a exciting, personalized, friendly hunt.

I contacted Gert Muller about an African hunt in 2005. He asked me what animals I was interested in. I told him I wanted a Kudu, a Black Wildebeest, an Impala and a Warthog. He told me he had some excellent Red Hartebeest. I wanted two beautiful animals and two homely (ugly) animals. He told me he had some excellent Red Hartebeest. I looked for a picture of a Red Hartebeest and decided that they are almost as ugly as a Warthog. I accepted his advice and reserved my hunt with him in May of 2006. When I arrived at Windhoek, Namibia Gert and Marina (his wife) met me at the airport. They treated me like a long lost friend. I immediately felt right at home. My hunt was a wonderful success. I even decided to get a Gemsbok (Oryx) to go with my two beautiful animals. My five animals all arrived in due time. They are now mounted and hanging on my wall. I'm very proud of them. This trip was the fulfilment of a dream I had for many years. My thanks to Gert Muller and his staff for a wonderful hunt. I'll never forget it. Bill Bennett Crawford, CO, USA Dear Mr. and Mrs. Muller, I've just been talking to my Dad and looking at all the pictures he emailed me. He was so excited and the pictures are so great that I just had to write my appreciation. He had been dreaming of this hunt for a very long time. I can tell that everyone and everything about Otjinuke made his dream come true. Maybe it's time for me to start dreaming. He has already got his brother itching to go. B. Bennett, Phoenix AZ, April 2006 |

Unvergeßlich sind mir die Tage, die ich auf der Otjinuke Farm mit Gert Muller und seiner Familie verbracht habe. Nicht nur die gut organisierte Jagd war außerordentlich erfolgreich (10 Trophäen, davon 6 Goldmedaillen), sondern auch die freundliche Aufnahme durch Gert Muller, seiner lieben Familie und seiner freundlichen Helfer war dazu angetan, den Aufenthalt auf der Otjinuke Farm zu einem rundherum positiven Erlebnis werden zu lassen. Die gelungene Verbindung zwischen professionell organisierter Jagd und ungezwungener Herzlichkeit, die den Jagdgast zum Familienmitglied werden läßt, habe ich bei anderen Jagdreisen in dieser Form nie erlebt. Auch im nächsten Jahr wird Otjinuke wieder mein Ziel sein. 
Unforgettable for me were the days, I spent on Otjinuke farm with Gert Muller and his family. Not only the well-organized hunt was very successful (10 trophies, 6 of them gold medals), but also the very friendly welcome by Gert Muller, his dear family and his friendly helpers made my stay on Otjinuke hunting-farm a all together beautiful experience. This combination of professionally organized hunt and casually friendliness which makes the hunting guest feel like a member of the family, I had never experienced before on other hunting tours. Certainly I will head for Otjinuke again next year. Philipp Hitzler, Germany |

Jeff Nolting thought he'd be hunting some antelope, but ended up with a cat as well. Here are some pictures of the leopard: 1, 2 and 3. |

Steve went hunting for antelope in July 2007 and found a gold medal Gemsbok and Springbok. Here are some pictures of his trophees: Gemsbok and Springbok. "The hospitality, accommodations, food, habitat, game...all of my expectations were met or exceeded by Gert and Marina Muller at Otjinuke during my hunt in July 2007. They displayed all of the professionalism and skill you expect from a large outfitter while graciously sharing the warmth of their home and family. The game was varied and plentiful. I bagged two good and two excellent trophies. We also came across the largest waterbuck I have ever seen, alive or in photographs. The staff handled the tracking, recovery and processing of the animals I did shoot with skill and good humor." "Overall, the experience was so good I have considered retiring in Namibia to avoid the necessity of repeatedly flying back." Steve Pettit, Dallas, TX USA |

I had a superb time hunting with Gert and Marina at Otjinuke Hunting Ranch, and my family had a great experience in Namibia in May 2007. I got to spot and stalk all the animals that I had in mind when I set out; and then a few more, including a Namibian Top 10 black wildebeest. My wife and three little girls (7, 5 and 3 years) had a great time on the ranch. Everything from the hospitality, the food, the accommodations, the game, the activities, and the country were nothing less than over the top. The prices that they charge are far more than reasonable for what they offer. The fact that they are so family oriented and made our kids feel so much at home just made all of the difference to all of us. Gert was constantly asking if I was having fun and getting the experience that I wanted and took a personal hand in every aspect of the hunt, from planning to trophy care, and didn't rest until I got satisfaction. I hope to get a chance to go back again and do some more sneaking through the brush with a rifle in my hand.

Hunting at Otjinuke was quite an adventure...and one we'll repeat! Upon arrival at the ranch we found our accommodations acceded our expectations. We were fascinated at the number and variety of game at the Ranch. Experiencing the sights and sounds of this new environment was an adventure in itself. Seeing the plains game running freely is something everyone should do. With the guidance of the PH we successfully obtained our desired trophies.

The hunt at Otjinuke Hunting Ranch was spectacular. The minute I arrived, I knew that this would be a hunt I would never forget. In fact, I can not wait to hunt with Mr, Muller again!! Mr. Muller and his hunting staff did a fantastic job of ensuring that we were able to hunt the game we desired and made every effort to ensure it was a successful stalk. I never felt any pressure to harvest an animal unless it was the one I wanted. I did pass on a trophy kudu the first day, which allowed my hunting partner to harvest it a few days later. If you are looking for a hunting experience where you can relax, have fun, and yet have a very successful hunt, I would highly recommend hunting with Mr. Muller and his staff at Otjinuke Hunting Ranch.

My first trip to Africa was with Gert Muller of Otjinuke Hunting Ranch for 10 days in July 2006. I was very impressed with the quantity and quality of the game available at the Otjinuke Hunting Ranch. I harvested 4 gold medal animals (Kudu, Gemsbok , Blesbok, and Impala), 1 silver medal Red Hartebeest, and 2 bronze medal Blue Wildebeest bulls. The accommodations were very nice, and the food was amazing. Gert and his crew went above and beyond to make my hunt with them a very memorable one, and I would highly recommend Otjinuke Hunting Ranch to anyone looking for an action packed plains game hunt.

As a first time visitor/hunter to Africa (Namibia),I didn't know what to expect. I can honestly say that from the time I got off the plane in Windhoek until the time I left the ranch, I was treated like "family". The Muller's hospitality was unbelievable. As for the hunting... there was an abundance of quality game to hunt. I harvested 3 gold medal animals (kudu, oryx, blesbok) and 1 bronze medal (very old blue wildebeest bull). I enjoyed my hunt at Otjinuke Ranch so much, I will be returning in 2009 with my 12 year old daughter! I think that the friendships I found at Otjinuke Hunting Ranch will last a lifetime, I know the memories will! Scott Brunner, Bush LA |
