    The Seefeldt Family

    Our story begins in Germany, where our great-grandfather, Paul Seefeldt, purchased this farm in 1945 before World War II. When my grandparents, Helma and Werner Seefeldt, took over the farm in 1949, my father Bernd Seefeldt was born in 1951. Werner enlisted and was captured during the war, remaining a prisoner for several years. Once released, he was compelled to work in Germany while the farm was leased to others. My grandfather constructed houses in Windhoek while my grandmother managed the farm for many years. Meanwhile, my mother, Rita Seefeldt, immigrated to Namibia at 11, where she met my father, and it was love at first sight. When my parents eventually revealed their secret engagement, they took over the farm in 1982. Juggling the cattle business and the hunting enterprise was challenging during the exceptionally dry seasons of the 1980s and 90s, marked by minimal rainfall. They worked relentlessly to cultivate the land and broaden their agricultural endeavors, ensuring that my siblings and I received a proper education while expanding the farm from 5,000 hectares to 8,000 hectares. This effort established a legacy of determination and hard work for future generations. After my father endured an accident and needed to take a few months off work, I left my position in Windhoek and began my journey on the farm at the age of 21. In 2005, my wife and I began dating, and by 2009, we had taken over the family farm and business. Following the birth of our three children, we married in 2012. Together with my wife’s farm, we are proud to manage 13,000 hectares of land, housing three distinct registered cattle breeds: Angus, Brahman, and Charolais, along with our hunting business. Today, we continue this legacy, fostering a deep connection with our rich cultural heritage.
