The mountains for the game, the plains for the livestock. This has been the basic principle of B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm for decades. So that agriculture can co-finance nature conservation. This is because the contribution from the tourism activities is not enough to cover the costs.<\/p>\n
B\u00fcllsPort has deliberately limited the number of rooms and campsites and runs the business as environmentally friendly as possible. On the 14 paths through the private nature reserve, hikers and horse riders leave nothing but their footprints or hoofprints. It is no accident that B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm has received 5 out of 5 ‘desert flowers’ from the official eco label Eco Awards Namibia<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00dcberschrift Wild-Management” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” 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=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0%|5%|20px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”0%|5%|20px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”0%|5%|5px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/BuellsPort-Fence-Repair.jpg” alt=”Conservation repair fence Naukluft Mountains B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm Namibia” admin_label=”Bild” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Bild Text” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”14px” background_color=”#463728″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-23px|5%|0px|5%|false|true” custom_padding=”10px|15px|10px|15px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]The fences must be constantly checked and maintained, as here by employee Dawid Hanse.

Nature cannot be left to its own devices in nature reserves. Constant game management is necessary to preserve biodiversity and prevent overgrazing, which would cause lasting damage to the flora. At B\u00fcllsPort, the condition of game and plants is regularly checked on patrols.<\/p>\n Three boreholes have been drilled in the uplands so that the game does not have to rely solely on the springs and watercourses in the gorges. This means that the area is grazed more evenly. The wind turbine and solar pumps have to be checked regularly and repaired from time to time. The same applies to around 20 kilometres of external fencing, which runs through terrain that is difficult to access.<\/p>\n The fence is often damaged, especially at the border to the Naukluft Mountain Zebra National Park (part of the Namib Naukluft Park) \u2013 mostly by mountain zebras. No wonder: There are an estimated 4,000 zebras in the park. That is twice the upper limit of 2,000 animals that experts have set based on the carrying capacity of the land.<\/p>\n In search of food, the mountain zebras push into the private nature reserve of B\u00fcllsPort \u2013 and from there down into the plains intended for sheep. Nature is thus threatening the very source of income that helps finance its protection. And especially in times of drought, when grazing must be strictly rationed through carefully planned utilisation of the ‘kamps’ (fenced areas for grazing).[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00dcberschrift G\u00e4ste” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” 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=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0%|5%|20px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”0%|5%|20px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”0%|5%|5px|5%|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/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=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0%|5%|5%|5%|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n Hospitality and nature conservation are inextricably linked to each other on B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm \u2013 to our mutual benefit.
