Our farm is situated 230 km from Windhoek in the southwest of Namibia. Büllsport is you ideal starting point for several destinations in the central and southern region of Namibia. In the near of Büllsport you have the possibility of different day namely to Sossusvlei, Duwisib Castle or other destinations either on your own or guided by Ernst or Johanna in their comfortable LandRover 110, The name "Büllsport" means "Bull's pass" and was given to the farm when this was the only passage through the Naukluft Mountains for Ox wagons and stock herds. The size of the farm is 10.000ha. The mountains make up 4.000ha. The farmhouse is 1400m above sea level. The sparse vegetation found in the area is related to the limited rainfall (80-180mm/year). The Tsondab River, a dry river, passes the farmhouse. Nestled at the foot of the mountains and surrounded by many acacia trees, the farmhouse forms a beautiful setting. Extensive stock farming with goats, karakul sheep and some cattle is practiced. The protected Hartman Zebra, Greater Kudu, Springbok, Oryx antelope and Klipspringer are some of the game the visitor can view on the Farm. Ernst Sauber is the third generation of the Sauber family in Namibia. His grandfather came in 1897 as a trader to Namibia and settled in the vicinity of Büllsport. Ernst's wife Johanna came to Namibia in 1989. Being an agricultural engineer, she adapted very quickly to the farm life. With the drought not loosening its grip on the southwestern parts of Namibia for many years, Ernst and Johanna looked at alternatives. The farmhouse, built in 1930 was renovated to offer seven double bedrooms, all with private facilities. Electricity around the clock (powered by a solar system), comfortable furniture and a swimming pool meet today's standards for the international guests. Meals made from farm products are served at the big family table where many interesting discussions take place. In the farmyard you will find a petrol station (even unleaded Petrol), tyre sales & repairs as well as a general store. Here a shop assistant will see to your shopping needs. Activities include: Horse Riding is offered, too. Johanna, a keen rider herself offers several long or short trips on horseback. The horses are well trained; even inexperienced persons can ride them.
