Mushara Bush Camp review
Friendly welcome, good service, well designed, comfortable tents, good food. We arrived around 5pm and left before eight the next morning so can’t really comment further.
Activities were available and the staff were keen to explain them to us, but we had no time.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Outstanding lodge, beautifully decorated.
Fantastic rooms, very secluded and beautifully appointed rooms. Excellent food, surroundings attention to detail, like unexpectedly finding hot water bottles in the bed after dinner. Good swimming pool. Vegetarians well catered for.
Another camp that shouldn't be missed.
Great feel to the place
Lovely staff, great atmosphere and possibly one evening meal that was the best of our trip! We also dined underneath the stars in the Boma. We would recommend Mushara to anyone and particularly those taking younger children.
Room was a tent plus walled rear area accommodating the WC and shower. Another place where hot water bottles were put in our beds!
Warthogs on the lawn - what more could you ask for!
Mushara Bush Camp review
Reception, lounge, dining area is stunning. The largest open sided thatched building that we have ever seen.
Makes for a very dramatic place to eat and chat.
Tent was beautiful and very well laid out with many individual touches and thoughtful additions.
Even though the verandha was small it was nice to sit out and hear the birds and animals, or as George can testify, see, as a family of warthogs trotted past him.
Staff were superb and a credit to the owners.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Initially we didn't want to stay in a camp outside the park gates but it didn't take long for Mushara to win us over. The camp was spacious with comfortable seating in the central area.
Staff were very friendly and high quality food was served along with a good selection of wines. The only disadvantage was that we had to leave our favourite waterhole 20 minutes early in order to be at the park gates before they closed. This is definitely a camp to visit again and again.
Mushara Bush Camp review
We have no hesitation in recommending Mushara Bush camp. Based a short distance from the eastern gate of the Etosha Park it is well located.
The permanent tents can only be described as luxurious with fantastic large double beds and a lovely shower room at the back. They have the feel of a lodge rather than a tent although it can get a bit cold at night and first thing in the morning. Set in a secluded wood with wildlife close by, Springboks coming right up to the entrance, it was one of the favourite places of our holiday.
The food and service was amazing. The food was the best of the holiday, the vegetarians had a wide choice (it is recommended that you remind them of any dietary requests when arriving as they cook to order). The staff made a real effort, we had a barbeque outside surrounding by a big open fire on the first night and all the staff joined in when singing traditional Namibian songs on the other night.
Our one small criticism is that we although had lodges 8 and 9, they were a long way apart compared to other lodges which were opposite each other. Our children are reasonably hardy and old enough (13 and 15) to stay in their own tent but felt uncomfortable on the first night so we had an adult and child in each tent. It maybe worth emphasising at the booking that you would like to be as close together as possible.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Mushara was probably our kids favourite place and it certainly excelled in all areas. The setting and camp are beautiful and it seems much more luxurious than some descriptions we had read before travelling.
The outdoor spaces and pool are beautiful and the camp exudes a sense of peace and tranquility. All staff were exceptionally friendly and very good with kids particularly Viktoria who spent time doing sand art with our kids. The food was probably the best we had on the trip. The warthogs hanging out on the lawn were a great bonus for us on our return from a trip to Etosha.
Only minor negative was that the game drive was a little disappointing but this probably reflects that having spent 2 days driving around Etosha ourselves we had come to realise you don't need a guide to see the wildlife
Pleasant stay
Mushara is a nice place with an exceptional facility. Food was excellent and the service friendly.
good location outside of the Etosha Park and good roads.
Mushara Bush Camp review
We loved this place - the tented feeling and the care with which it was run.
The main communal area was a highlight, with welcoming fires and great food, and the tented rooms a delight. Lovely touches such as finding hot water bottles in our beds at night.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Really enjoyed it here. Reception/restaurant area lovely. Food great.
Friendly service and nice touches such as homemade biscuits in tents as well as tea/coffee and hot water bottles. Very clean. A great stopover or base to enter Etosha from the east gate (although not in the park so wouldn't have the night waterhole experience).
Other than Okaukuejo, some of the best game we saw was at the east Etosha waterholes as we drove through.
