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
south-western 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.
