"A very peaceful lodge "

2 nights Arrived 6 Sep 2018
"We welcomed the comfort here to take a day's break from game drives and bumpy roads. There was so much activity at the small waterhole, and a comfortable hide, that we could have spent many more hours!

The tent was very spacious and comfortable with a choice of showers. One evening was a outdoor dinner in the boma, a delicious barbeque under amazing starry skies.

Our table had been littered with petals and ribbons as we were celebrating our golden wedding, a lovely touch, much appreciated." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Mushara Outpost review"

1 night Arrived 6 Sep 2018
"Our stay at Mushara was short, arriving soon before dark and leaving for a long drive quite early the next morning. We did not do any activities in the grounds of Mushara apart from a brief stroll to the viewing hide (where we saw an oryx).

Staff were friendly and efficient. The room was very comfortable.

Our evening meal - in the Boma area - could have been better. Breakfast was good." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Mushara Outpost"

1 night Arrived 24 Aug 2018
"This place had a lovely feel.

The table decoration, the card and the singing for 'my birthday' was lovely.

Such a contrast in terms of luxury from our previous camp - in fact, it seemed a bit excessive" See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 7n in Botswana

"Mushara Outpost review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Apr 2018
"Good lodge facilities, pleasant to eat and sit in
Nice spacious chalet accommodation
Game drive a bit disappointing – following crowds of vehicles in Etosha, although good to see a Caracal, but disappointed not to see any elephants, either here or on the whole trip (NB earlier heavy rains had caused animals to move North and no need to visit waterholes)
Final meal was a BBQ, which was not the best! Chewy chicken and bony Kudu – probably the worst meal of our trip
We felt Mushara was ‘penny pinching’, everything was an extra, even a small bottle of water. This affected our decision not to go on the final afternoon game drive and missed seeing a herd of 22 elephants!
Mean breakfasts, they split a rasher of bacon in half – reinforced the ‘penny pinching’
Our least favourite place." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Delightful"

1 night Arrived 12 Dec 2017
"A delightful place to stay on your way through.

The main building was like a large private home, really well designed and lovely furniture etc.
The pool are was especially nice for some downtime.

Staff were unaware that we were All Inclusive and had to check with their main office as the computer said NO but our voucher said YES." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Mushara Outpost review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Oct 2017
"Mushara Outpost is very conveniently placed for Etosha and we had a brilliant drive through the park from the Andersson Gate to get here. It is a lovely lodge in a garden setting with mongooses and Damara Dikdiks roaming about. The tents are beautiful, the staff friendly and welcoming and there was also a nice swimming pool to cool off in. The food here is wonderful.

We self drove around Etosha while we were here and saw an incredible amount of bird and wild game life; lots of elephants, lions, spotted hyenas eating their prey, magnificent elands and much more. I would recommend self driving around the park. I thought we would be in a queue to catch sight of the game, but frequently we were watching for ages on our own. Some of the roads are bumpy but not impossible and the drive round the Fischer Pan was incredible." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Mushara Outpost review"

3 nights Arrived 1 Sep 2017
"This was the best lodge we stayed on our holiday - stylishly furnished, spotlessly clean with a large very well equipped room. A good pool and a hide looking over a small waterhole. It had a very friendly feel and the staff were delightful. We didn't take advantage of any of the activities as we drove ourselves around Etosha." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Tranquil Camp close to park"

2 nights Arrived 28 Jun 2017
"Mushara was absolutely beautiful. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful and the main lodge and tented cabins really stunning. The tent was huge and luxurious - we loved the outdoor shower under the stars!

The service was excellent from all staff who were really welcoming and catered to our every need. The food was fantastic - evening meals in the main lodge with other guests were great and the chef would cook you something special if you didn't like what was on the menu that evening.

The swimming pool area was lovely for relaxing in the morning before a game drive, although we didn't go in the pool (too cold in June). We went on a morning game drive which was really good too - the driver told us where to go back to later that day to see a leaopard - we went there and saw one!!

Mushara outpost was fairly close to Etosha park although there was usually a queue to get in and out as you have to fill in some paperwork at the gate." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
