THE HUNT

Born and raised in Africa, Otto Bousema has hunting in his blood. He grew up in a family where the hunt was not merely a pastime, but a way of life — passed down through generations. For decades, he has walked the game trails, tracked Africa’s most elusive species, and mastered the skills that only time, patience, and a deep respect for the land can teach.

As a licensed Big Game Professional Hunter, Otto combines youthful strength with seasoned expertise. He knows the rhythms of the African wilderness — the early-morning calls of the francolin, the shifting winds before dusk, the subtle signs left in the dust. His knowledge of the bushveld is not from books, but from a lifetime of living it.

For Otto and his family, hunting is not a sport — it is a heritage. And in the vast beauty of South Africa, he invites you to share in that legacy.

With Otto on your side, your hunt will be tailored entirely to you. He works with skilled local trackers whose knowledge of the bush is unmatched, ensuring every moment in the bush is purposeful and unforgettable. Whether you seek the challenge of Africa’s great spiral-horned antelope or the thrill of the Big Five, Otto will lead you with dedication, professionalism, and a true hunter’s spirit.

Family and Christian values are at the core of his life. A devoted husband and father of two, Otto Jnr and Cilliers believes hunting is more than the pursuit of game — it is about tradition, heritage, conservation, and sharing the wild in a way that enriches both hunter and habitat. His warm, welcoming nature makes every safari deeply personal. Guests do not arrive as clients — they leave as friends, having shared fireside stories, laughter, and adventures that last a lifetime.
