"Mushara Bush Camp review"

1 night Arrived 6 Aug 2019
"Mushara Bush Camp is a very attractive camp with just the right blend of sympathetic and comfortable accommodation without overdoing it. Think camping that everyone will enjoy!

It is right outside one of the gates out of Etosha National Park. Which was handy for us as we saw a leopard feeding on an elephant carcass at very close quarters just as the park was closing so we were able to stay and savour every marvellous moment." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Great feel to this place!"

2 nights Arrived 30 Jul 2019
"Perhaps overall our favourite pick of the trip, but then again we were spoiled for choice!
Loved the tented communal area, the super friendly staff, the meal out by fire one night was fab. Had an easy going vibe to it. We also did game drive from here - we didn't see any more than self drive, but learnt loads from our very experienced guide Ute." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 17 Feb 2019
"Good to excellent, but not in the same way as Ongava. Lovely being in a camp surrounded by bush, with all the basics being very well done.

Probably the best food we had. Brilliant swimming pool. Guide worked hard to find us game in Etosha and we were well rewarded.

Big herds of elephant, Oryx, wildebeest, impala, springbok, zebra but also Black and white rhino, hyena, lion, leopard." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Stylish with good food"

2 nights Arrived 19 Oct 2018
"Stylish tents with deckchairs for sitting outside. A bit small but comfortable.

I don’t like to say this, but I did miss the air-conditioning here as it was very hot overnight. Another beautiful reception/restaurant building. Excellent food, but unfortunately had food poisoning here, I don’t think it’s anything to do with their food or cleanliness which were excellent, possibly caused by ice cubes or snacks we bought elsewhere.

Everything else was excellent and the staff was pleasant." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp"

1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2018
"We used Mushara Bush Camp as a base to explore Etosha NP. We drove ourselves into the game park and did not use any of the camps activities.

For that purpose the Camp was in a good location not far from the Etosha park entrance. Everything about the Camp was good except the room had no lock on the door and the safe didn’t work. So had to carry cameras and valuables with you at all times about the Camp." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara bush camp exceeded expectations"

2 nights Arrived 25 Sep 2018
"We arrived at 5pm after a long day game viewing in the park The temperature was 34 degrees Celsius and we were given a friendly welcome by Victoria who showed us around the Camp and our tent.

The secluded tent while hot soon cooled down with the fan on and side and front vents open. The tent was well thought out, as was the camp.The pool was cool and refreshing with plenty of sun beds and shade. The first evening we had a barbecue in the boma which was excellent. The second night we ate in the restaurant that always managed to catch the breeze and again had an excellent meal.

We had some reservations about staying outside the park but the morning game drive with the lodge was very good despite the other couple on the vehicle turning up 25 minutes late. The delay was well managed by an embarrassed camp manager. The guide still managed to to find us the big 4 in the park ending with an excellent siting of a leopard in a tree.

All the staff at the camp were very efficient, competent and friendly" See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia

"Delightful, slightly different 'lodge'"

1 night Arrived 13 Sep 2018
"We thought this a delightful place. It was comfortable but with enough authenticity to merit the name Camp Though the accommodation is set in the 'bush', accessed is by well lit paved paths.

We loved the large attractive thatched lounge, bar and restaurant area, and, even more, the evening barbecue meal in the nearby boma which was delicious.

Our room had everything we needed, the beds were snug, and the staff universally welcoming and helpful. It had the best pool of all we found and was subtly different to the other lodges, and good for that.

It ran the Desert Homestead Outpost, our favourite, very close. Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
