"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
A good distance from Windhoek for the first day travelling, far enough to feel we were on the way but not too much of a rush to get there.
We did not go one their morning trip as it was early and we were preferred a gentle start after a long journey from UK, but other guests enjoyed trip to walk the gorge. We enjoyed following some of their many suggested local walks." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm - a curiosity"
Dinners at Bullsport are communal affairs, where guests sit down to dine with the proprietors each night. The food is simple and homely. The rooms are clean and sufficiently well-furnished for a short stay. A number of well-orgnised activities are offered during the day.
The facilities could have been better: no safe in the room, no Wi-Fi in the room." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Quiver Tree Gorge Hike is a must"
Our room was excellent, food good and the hosts very pleasant. Quiver Tree Gorge hike was really enjoyable seeing Mountain Zebra, Kudu, Dassies, Klipspringers, Dijk-Dijk and Baboons. Fortunately no sign of Amanda the Spitting Cobra!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
In comparison to all our other accommodation in Namibia it fell below the standard. Some travellers may also be put off by the fact that according to our guides in the Namib the farm was the only one that declined to sell its land to allow development of the national park and staff at the farm informed us that they have shot predators (including leopard) that have attacked cattle.
Whilst appreciating that BullsPort is working farm if we had known more about the background we would have chosen to stay elsewhere" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm is very enjoyable"
The morning activity was to be driven to the top of the gorge and then to walk down. The whole experience was excellent - great views and scenery, some splendid wildlife which we had not seen on other safari type holidays - and a very good walk to increase the appetite!
The afternoon "game drive" was a disappointment, we did see a couple of Secretary Birds and a couple of Oryx but, otherwise, nothing other than some farm stock and pregnant mares,
For those interested in riding, I imagine that this could be an amazing place for a longer stay." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Nice hill and canyon walk at Bullsport"
We were made very welcome, and the rooms were excellent. Meals were served at one large table where family, staff and guest all ate together. That worked very well once the introductions had been made and conversations initiated!
We did a short walk along the foot of the mountains on the first evening, which was pleasant - Kudu, mountain zebra.
The next day we did the bullsport's 17km walk up into the mountains and down a canyon with springs and pools. This was a very nice walk, although we did not see many animals, there was a great range of scenery and plant-life." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"Good place for a stopover"
"Bullsport"
Went on a couple of walks and on the second found the gate at the end of a two hour walk that the gate was locked and not climbable. The hosts knew we were taking this walk and were not very apologetic. Managed to get through eventually. Same problem would have occured for others next day had we not advised them!"

They apologised for the locked gate and explained that this is a new
measure to prevent drivers from incorrectly crossing private property. As
a result of these travellers feedback they have added a note to their
trail maps reminding travellers to take the gate key. They also advise
that all walkers inform staff of their plans before they set out on a walk.
