Also known as over-thrust mountains, its upper layers of dolomite are around 540 million years old.<\/p>\n

During the collision of two cratons (parts of the Earth\u2019s crust) the mighty Damara Mountains pile up. The rocks on its southern flank, roughly at the location of today’s Gamsberg, start to shift. Based on saline sediments, which are turned into a gel-like state by the enormous pressure, the entire massif of 68 km by 28 km glides a distance of about 78 km, until approximately 495 million years ago it comes to rest at its current location.<\/p>\n

Phases of higher precipitation lasting millions of years cause a process of karstification, where water dissolves calcrete in the dolomite and creates passages and caves, which today protect it from evaporation. At various points, rainwater emerges in the form of springs. This is why you\u2019ll find water-bearing streams throughout the year in the NAUkLuFT.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_2_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”30px||0px||false|true” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_phone=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”4%|5%|4%|5%|true|true” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#BEA388″ global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n

Rocky cliffs, mountainous slopes, streams in shady ravines and dry riverbeds in broader valleys \u2013 with such a diversity of habitats, it is no wonder that the NAUkLuFT has an exceptionally rich variety of plants. In addition, two biomes meet at the NAUkLuFT, the Nama Karoo and Namib Desert.<\/p>\n

With an average of less than 120 mm rain per year, it is an extremely dry environment. During the course of evolution, many plants have creatively adapted to these harsh surroundings, including succulents such as the quiver tree (Aloidendron dichotomum<\/em>), candelabra euphorbia (Euphorbia virosa<\/em>) and Bushman\u2019s hat (Hoodia gordonii<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Other well-known arid area specialists found here are the moringa tree (Moringa ovalifolia<\/em>), some commiphora species, Bushman\u2019s candle (Sarcocaulon patersonii<\/em>), and last but not least, the resurrection bush (Myrothamnus flabellifolius<\/em>). At streams and rock pools on the other hand, you will find lush vegetation ranging from mighty fig trees (Ficus sycomorus<\/em>) to aquatic plants.<\/p>\n

The variety of habitats and the open water ensure that the NAUkLuFT is just as rich in wildlife as it is in vegetation. Mammals alone make up 50 different species. In the valleys and the plains at the foot of the mountains, you can see springbok and gemsbok, kudu, baboon, warthog and bat-eared fox.<\/p>\n

The mountains are also populated by baboon and kudu as well as klipspringer, steenbok and rock dassie, and of course the Hartmann’s mountain zebra, an endemic species that almost only occurs in Namibia. Predators include leopard, caracal, African wildcat and spotted genet.<\/p>\n

In addition, the NAUkLuFT is a true bird’s paradise: More than 200 species have been spotted so far, including Ludwig’s bustard (Neotis ludwigii<\/em>) and crimson-breasted shrike (Laniarius atrococcineus<\/em>), birds of prey such as rock eagle (Aquila verreauxii<\/em>) and augur buzzard (Buteo augur<\/em>), as well as water birds such as the hamerkop (anvil head or hammer head; Scorpus umbretta<\/em>). Supplementing many reptiles, there are also amphibians and fish in the NAUkLuFT \u2013 housed in its water-filled rock pools.<\/p>\n

There are also many sites where stone tools were made. However, rock art is scarce \u2013 at least at B\u00fcllsPort.<\/p>\n

This place was ideally positioned for hunters following game: Here, the animals migrate through the narrow valley of the dry Tsondab River, between the plains of the highlands and the grasslands of the eastern Namib.<\/p>\n

Thus the name Naukluft, which originates from the Afrikaans term “nou kloof” = narrow gorge, allthough the first syllable of the German word does not make sense at all and the second one actually means “gap”. Even worse is the malapropism of the original name of the valley’s entrance: Bull’s Mouth, the English translation of “Gob Ams” (Khoekhoegowab \/ Nama language) turned into the Afrikaans Bul se Poort (Bull’s gate) and finally mutated into the meaningless German word B\u00fcllsport (because “u” in Afrikaans sounds like the short German umlaut “\u00fc”) – which, on top of it, suggests the incorrect hyphenation of the word in German as B\u00fcll-sport. Hence our preferred spelling: B\u00fcllsPort.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_2_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|true” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_phone=”30px||30px||false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”4%|5%|4%|5%|true|true” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#BEA388″ global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n

In 1884, the terrain that makes up today’s Namibia is declared a German Protected Area.<\/p>\n

In 1894, the Oorlam-Nama under the leadership of Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi engage in fierce battles with the German Schutztruppe in the NAUkLuFT. Evidence of combat is the grave of a Schutztruppler (German soldier) near the old police station. A second grave commemorates a police officer killed in 1915 in the wake of the Baster uprising, while South African troops as Allies of England in the First World War advance from the south into the German colony.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_2_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|true” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_phone=”30px||30px||false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”4%|5%|4%|5%|true|true” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#BEA388″ global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n

While the farmer serves as reservist in the Schutztruppe to fight against the South Africans, the farm is plundered by Basters and Nama.

Sauber family acquires farm B\u00fcllsPort<\/h3>\n

In 1950, farmer widow Anna Sauber acquires the farm B\u00fcllsPort for her son Hermann, who, together with his wife Hilde, builds it up piece by piece, despite several years of drought. As from 1984, their son Ernst gradually takes over the management. After a severe drought, Ernst and his wife Johanna from Germany open their guest business in 1993: B\u00fcllsPort officially becomes a guest farm \u2013 with cattle and horse breeding.<\/p>\n

The impetus for this step is the Independence of Namibia in 1990, an event that results in increasing numbers of tourists visiting the country. This is a blessing for B\u00fcllsPort, because even in drought years, which set narrow limits to farm operation, the landscape does not lose its charm and visitors are able to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.<\/p>\n

An additional attraction is the fascinating mountain world of B\u00fcllsPort, which captivates hiking and horse riding fans alike. The neighbouring nature reserve attracts many visitors, too. Proclaimed in 1968 as the Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park, it protects the unique flora and fauna, in particular Hartmann’s mountain zebra (Equus zebra hartmannae<\/em>), which occurs almost exclusively in Namibia.<\/p>\n

In 1979, the reserve is linked to the Namib Desert Park (founded in 1907), and since then it is part of the Namib Naukluft Park, the largest nature reserve in Namibia with an approximate area of 50,000 km\u00b2.<\/p>\n

B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm alone employs 15 people with its guest and farm operation, most of whom live in the area and support large families.<\/p>\n

Due to the lack of knowledge and skills, they are trained from scratch for their tasks. In addition, B\u00fcllsPort offers courses in basic skills such as writing and arithmetic.<\/p>\n

B\u00fcllsPort also invests in the future: The Naukluft Foundation, founded in 2005 together with Ababis Guest Farm, supports the government-run \u01c2Nabasib Primary School located 15 km away. It offers the children of employees working on surrounding farms a regulated instruction from grade 1 to 7.<\/p>\n

By the way, the \u01c2Nabasib school cordially invites guests from B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm to drop by and get an insight into the daily life of a government school in a rural area. At the end, pupils perform traditional songs and dances.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_2_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”30px||0px||false|true” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_phone=”30px||||false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”4%|5%|4%|5%|true|true” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#BEA388″ global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n
