"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
Cake and tea is set out at 16:00 hrs and the backdrop of their mountains and the veld was fantastic.
A wonderful drive and walk down the Naukluft Valley which is a must for any visitor. so much to see with wonderful animals and birds and plants.
Perhaps the only comment was that the food was just OK. But it was the same food that everyone was eating and I loved being all together at the table, but we would certainly return." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"Only go for lovely gorge walk"
The 3hr gorge walk remains spectacular. Only natural flowing water seen in Namibia. Klipspringer and baboon, and leopard tracks." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
Johanna, Ernst and Jonathan were incredibly welcoming, they couldn't do enough for you and we very much appreciated their local knowledge and entertaining stories re life in Namibia and the challenges they face living on a farm. The location is stunning, and we loved going for walks on their land in the afternoon, and especially the hike through Quiver Tree Gorge. Horse-riding was also fun and my son loved all the dogs. Rooms were comfortable and very clean and service overall was excellent.
We hope to return one day." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

We drove up from the bottom in our own car and spent a couple of hours walking up and down again." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Good stopover location"
Food is communally served and home style cooking is provided. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and set in a genuinely desert environment with no neighbours for miles around.
We found the owners exceptionally helpful and friendly, and would recommend Bullsport to anyone looking to break up their journey." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
"Wonderful family operation"
On the afternoon of arrival we went for a short walk round the farm and the next day their guide took us higher into the mountains next to the Naukluft Park where we saw Kudu, Zebra, Klipspringer snake eagle and the local Quiver Trees.
After a couple of hours we were dropped off at the top of Quiver Tree Canyon which we were able to descend on foot to be met at the bottom for a short drive back to the lodge. Here we saw our first Rock Dassies and a large bird called a Hamerkop." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
Ernst and his family were very welcoming and we had a lovely first night sitting around the fire pit chatting with the other guests.
Sharing meals was a great opportunity to hear about Namibia from people that farm and live there. How tough it has been living with drought." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
We listened enthralled by Ernst Sauber talking about the problems the farm encounters - foot and mouth/draught/conservation/leopard attacks etc.and of course the future of Namibia in general
The only disappointment was that Katrina could not go on a Horseriding trail as the horses had been moved away from the farm and Johanna Sauber was away for a couple of days Just bad luck !. Johanna was extremely apologetic.
Probably best to let them know in advance if keen to ride" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
