"See previous review"
"Good stop on returrn journey to Windhoek"
Communal meals with the family were enjoyable but a little strained for English speakers as the main language was German. Anyone with an equine interest would love it." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

Excellent bird watching. Good area for accessing the Namib. Really family run.
Evening meals shared at a big table including family and some staff and good varied home cooked food." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 12n in South Africa

"Bullsport guest farm"
Very interesting people and glad we got to talk with them about the farm.
We took a tour to the top of quiver tree gorge and hiked down. The hike was harder than we expected and we likely should have been given a more reasonable expectation of the difficulty level." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
Bullsport were sorry to find out that the Quiver Tree Hike was harder than the guests had expected. They commented that it is difficult for them to judge the ability of some guests wishing to hike the trail, saying that with some it is very obvious that the hike won’t be suitable, then there are others who they think will enjoy the hike but struggle, whilst some that don’t initially look prepared for the hike come back relaxed and with a big smile. The team at Bullsport try to explain the hike as clearly as possible, and they do advise guests that if they feel the terrain is trickier than expected on the drive to the start, they are welcome to change their minds and return to the lodge. There’s also the option of a short ‘test’ hike to a nearby quiver tree at the edge of the gorge to try before the driver leaves the group to the main hike. Having said that, on the day these guests hiked their usual driver was unwell and so it’s possible that the replacement driver didn’t explain this option to them. Bullsport will ensure he passes on that message to future guests.

"Two nights on a farm"
We learned so much about Namibia and Johanna and Ernst were kind enough to answer all our questions.
We had a very comfortable, family room - it had 2 bedrooms, although there were only two of us.
The meals were excellent. This is a remote location but that made it even more interesting." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Friendly farm with well marked trails."
The farm is run by a friendly family and meals were served communally. We enjoyed doing a couple of the trails and found the descriptions and maps provided by the farm really helpful for that." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
"Bullsport."
Excellent, very well designed room with a place for everything including suitcases.
Friendly, interesting hosts, good food and great walking.
Hosts deserve support because they try hard and farming is very difficult in the drought conditions they are experiencing" See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana
