"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
The room was excellent; it was well designed, had a very comfortable bed, had A/C that had recently been installed and, had good hot showers!
Dinner is an occasion when all guests and hosts meet and sit around 1 or 2 tables for a communal meal - the food is hearty and there was certainly plenty of it. One minor issue for us was that the meal is served very quickly and it was all over in about 45 mins - we would have preferred a bit longer. We walked the Quiver Tree trail which was a amazing - it had superb views and we are so pleased that we made the effort to do this!
Special thanks to Jonathan who took us on a landrover ride to the top of the Quiver Tree Trail." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Great location for independent walking"
It is an excellent location for a variety walks on clearly marked trails. The scenery is impressive, the geology is interesting and the plant life surprisingly varied. There is also good bird life around the farm. The accommodation is comfortable but not fancy - brand new AC units had just been installed and were wonderfully quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed all our meals although mosquitos were a nuisance when we ate outside.
We stayed for four nights but would have liked a least one more day to complete all the walks." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
The accommodation at Bullsport is quite simple, but spacious and comfortable. The meals were fine but they have a system of allotting you tables which wasn't explained and we kept getting moved around." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Lovely family atmosphere at Bullsport"
We particularly enjoyed the family atmosphere where we were greeted by Jonathon and his dad who also joined us for our evening meal.
We didn't take part in any of the organised activities but enjoyed walking along the well sign posted trails around the estate and enjoyed the views as well, as seeing some "plains game" on the way." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Good walking base"
Well ordered farm with a small swimming pool and large lounge area in the farmhouse to si read, drink, wifi etc. The owners were friendly, lovely dinner outside that included zebra and helpful staff.
Several self guided walks and we did one after breakfast before leaving. Horse riding options, even for beginners, that I would try if we returned" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Very homely and welcoming stay"
We walked one of their trails on our own in the morning and in the afternoon we were taken to Quiver Gorge and walked about half of the way up with a one of the staff. This was not on their list of activities but when we said that we didn't want to do the whole of the trail from the top the owners offered to do this for us. The Quiver trees, Baobabs and other sights in the gorge were stunning." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Great fund at Bullsport"
Second morning we really enjoyed a couple of hours on horseback
We had the large guest room at the end of the cottages, it was excellent" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"Homely farm for a short stay"
Our room was spacious, clean and quite basic, providing everything we needed for just one night. We enjoyed the communal meal in the evening, when the owners and their team joined us and were able to give us an insight into what it is like to live and work near the Naukluft Mountains.
We would certainly recommend Bullsport Guest Farm for a short stay, especially if you like walking or horse riding." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe; 2n in South Africa
