"Super comfortable lodge"

2 nights Arrived 24 Sep 2024
"After the poorly maintained road through Etosha it was a delight to be on tarmac for the short drive to Mushara. The drive through Etosha whilst very uncomfortable for much of the journey was very productive in terms of game viewing including a chance encounter with a family of four cheetah, half a dozen - distant - rhino and many giraffe.

The camp reception/ restaurant is a lovely relaxing building and the rooms delightful. We stayed in from check in to check out making good use of the pool.

The bar b q was fantastic as was the restaurant dinner on the second night." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2024
"Wonderful place, beautiful setting, very private.

On our second night they laid on a traditional BBQ in a candle-lit boma which was fantastic.

The guide on our morning safari was excellent, as was the safari itself in Etosha National Park where we saw even more wildlife in an area of the Park we had not already visited." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2024
"Very satisfactory tented camp near an Etosha gate.

It’s on flat land so no views but it gave us a different experience which was very good.

Lovely staff, a great pool (with lots of bird life) for reading by, swimming and chilling and easy access to Etosha.

The tents were very comfortable and well thought out, with fridges, fans and everything we needed." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Jun 2024
"This camp is really in the bush, & it took a minute to get used to not having a view of either a watering hole or the desert.

It is lovely, well designed, comfortable sleeping tents, well equipped, very competent staff and several made the time to discuss questions we had about Namibia. A very enjoyable stay.

I don't understand the questions [Ed: This refers to Expert Africa's feedback questions] here about wildlife sighting.

The camp is fenced in, and so there are no animals. Of course once we went in to this side of the park, we saw lots of animals, just not at the Bush Camp." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 28 May 2024
"This was the smartest ‘tent’ ever! (Ours was No. 4). A timber framed en-suite chalet with a solid floor, fully mosquito netted with flaps both inside and out. The decor was very stylish and ‘bush themed’ with a very comfortable bed.

Brilliant turndown service whilst we were at dinner - all our tent flaps were lowered and the bed was well prepared, including a hot water bottle.

Central areas were also very stylish, with a large pool with spacious seating areas plus a children’s playground.

Dinner was at a fixed time (7pm) with a small choice and service and food were excellent in a very pleasant setting. Breakfast also was very good.

The camp was only a short drive to the park entrance so very convenient for us to explore another area of Etosha." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
