Information
BüllsPort is one of the oldest farms in Namibia and is located 250 km southwest of Windhoek. The guest farm and its campsites are the doorway to exploring the Naukluft massive. In today’s world of superficial entertainment the activities like hiking and horse back trails bring you close to experience the adventures of nature.
The Naukluft Mountains around BüllsPort are a paradise for hikers, horseback riders, bikers, off roaders and Para gliders. For all guest staying at Büllsport there is a large number of well marked and maintained trails.
Make BüllsPort your starting point or base camp for the many different trails to explore the fascinating flora and fauna of the Naukluft Mountains. Leave your car for some days and adventure into nature. Easy walks, day hikes with good maps or multi-day hikes in the Namib Naukluft national park with or without guide are on offer.
The Naukluft is part of the “Great Escarpment” and named by a narrow gorge in the east of the massif, the “Nau-Kluft” meaning narrow gorge. This massif, which rises approximately 1000m above the foreland, offers a spectacular mountain landscape with deep canyons.
The dolomite of the covering rock absorbs the low rainfall and emits the water to many spring horizons, so one finds water-bearing streams all year round, which support lots of game. Not only kudu, springbok and oryx are located here, but also the unique endemic Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, as well as klipspringer, jackals, bat-eared fox, genet cats and Leopards.
