"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 28 May 2016
"This was a delightful first stop on our journey.

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"

3 nights Arrived 21 May 2016
"We really enjoyed our three night stay here and felt it was a privilege to be part of a family concern giving us an insight into different aspects of Namibian life/culture/historical context.

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

"Experience life on a Namibian Farm"

1 night Arrived 30 Mar 2016
"We spent one night here on our way to Sossusvlei and it was well worth it. We were the only guests and were royally looked after by Jonathan & the staff.

We did the nature drive on the farm on which the guide was very personable and informative.

The accommodation was lovely as were the farm dogs.

I did the short Kudu Trail at sunrise which was beautiful on Jonathan's recommendation." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Lovely place to stop on the way to Sossusvlei"

1 night Arrived 16 Mar 2016
"Our first night was spent at Bullsport, comfortable three hour drive from Windhoek airport.

Very good room, excellent dinner with the family and breakfast the next morning.

Room was better than we had expected, equal to some of the high end lodges, and the food was of very high quality. We had a very good nights rest after our long journey and were well refreshed, ready for the journey ahead." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 10 Nov 2015
"I appreciated the difference in being a guest at a farm, where you ate with the family, as opposed to having a lodge at one's disposal. I enjoyed the change, and the chance to take walks.

Interesting, too, to learn about the difficulties of farming in such a harsh landscape. Added an element of variety to my stays." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Feel home at Bullsport Guest Farm"

2 nights Arrived 18 Oct 2015
"Arriving there , we are suppriced by the nature around the lodge , nice view from the pool and garden. Owners and staff friendly and very helpfull by the choose off an activity. Rooms ( first day family room ( clean but older bathroom ), because they lost key off the original room nr 1 ? ) Second day room nr 1 ( superb ) For us no problem to change from room ( they did all the suitcases to the room , so we could start directly the activity in he early morning 6 o clock.

We have done the walking into the Canyon CuiverTree . Superb ! We asked lunch packet ( all you need is there ) . They bring us to the start point by 4X4 and recieved lots off information about the region ( viewpoints etc ) Thanks

Meals are taken with the owners all together at one table ( where member off the family in a way = nice for us if you are open for these ) As we are horse enthusiast we spend some time with them to talk about it .

Place to keep in mind .

price versus quality = OK" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Sep 2015
"A family run farm, we shared meals with the owner. The room was comfortable, the food OK. A very quiet place.

A small gripe - the soap/shampoo supplied were in single-portion plastic bags, almost impossible to tear open, especially when under the shower. Why doesn't she (Johanna) just supply a large bottle of soap/shampoo like every other lodge did?

The walking trails were excellent, particularly the Quiver Tree Gorge walk, which required a 2-1/2 hour land rover drive to the start point. The driver was very helpful." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2015
"Very friendly and inclusive - be prepared to share your mealtimes with the family and helpers and chat about anything.

It might not be for everyone! However it's a great way to get background on Namibia, the farm, the history, the game management etc. Room was excellent and service was good.

Food was basic and filling (largely game from the farm).

The Quiver tree walk was excellent. The horse riding was good." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
