"Luxury Tented Camp"

2 nights Arrived 25 Aug 2015
"Lovely luxury camp with great food and a beautiful pool just outside the Eastern gate to Etosha National Park, I definitely recommend staying here if you're not staying within the park. The tents are spacious and the bathroom nice if not a little revealing as the there is no door to the shower and the toilet door didn't close properly!

A couple of things, there is no lock on the tent door so when you leave you will leave knowing that someone could easily enter without a key if they wish however there is a security guy that wanders around and a safe for valuables (that uses a key rather than a code). I recommend just taking important things with you in the car to be extra safe. At night when you're asleep you can lock it from the inside although the place seemed quiet and safe, it's more of a comfort thing. The front gate isn't manned so you do have to get in and out of your car to open and close it when arriving and departing, which apart from being very slightly inconvenient, makes the gate a bit pointless.

The hostess was friendly and on our last night a huge outdoor buffet was laid out for everyone in a really beautiful setting. There are two other Mushara camps that i am aware of including, Villa Mushara and Mushara Outpost, which i think provide a little more comfort and luxury but Mushara Bush Camp is luxurious without the same price tag and so well worth it for those looking to save a little extra. One last thing - the wifi didn't work for me but it did for my friend, it seems they have a few issues with it." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Magnificent Mushara"

2 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2015
"Mushara Bush Camp is quite family orientated and there were a few children here during our stay but the luxury tents are spreadout and the atmosphere was pleasant.

The dining experience was restaurant quality with delicious food brilliantly presented under a giant thatched roof. Staff were attentive and mealtimes were a pleasure.

Mushara is very close to Etosha's Von Lindequist Gate and we spent our day in the park. We saw Damara Dik-Dik from our veranda and the camp feels very much in the wild" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Great base for exploring Eastern Etosha"

2 nights Arrived 29 Jun 2015
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mushara. Our tent/chalet was a perfect size and very thoughtfully laid out. We had some of the best food of our trip here - it was tasty but also unusual and extremely well presented.

Throughout our stay the service was good without being obtrusive or at all pretentious - overall it was just a very easy relaxing place to stay. One day we had lunch here and were entertained by a group of warthogs grazing on the lawn just in front of us.

We took a morning drive into Etosha from here, and the guide was very good. Even if you are self-driving it is nice to sometimes go in a guided vehicle - for example during this drive he showed us a leopard that we would not have spotted had we been in our own car.

We recommend Mushara as a great base for exploring the Eastern side of Etosha, this was one of the favourite places that we stayed at during our trip in Namibia." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

1 night Arrived 31 May 2015
"Of all the places we stayed, this was probably the least inspiring. The facilities were getting to be old, with taps handles that came off and visible rust. The staff seemed like they were trying, but needed more training.

On the other hand, the food was excellent. And we really needed a place to sleep in that location after a long day driving in Etosha.

There were also some great birds in the garden." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Excellent for families with small children"

4 nights Arrived 26 May 2015
"The Camp was simply excellent. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and the Staff were extremely friendly. There was a great little kids corner, which kept them entertained and the children reveled in the ability to run around the safe confines of the camp. The food was also very nice and they had a good selection of food for the children.

The proximity to Etosha Park was brilliant and allowed you to have a short or long day at the Park, depending on how the children felt. We made use of the pool every day and the children loved seeing the Warthogs that continuously wonder throughout the camp." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
