"Relaxing place"
The staff here were very attentive...
The large open sided boma made an ideal setting for meals, the evening usually ended with the staff singing and dancing to us. As the camp is only 8km from the Von Lindquist gate it was easy to day trip into that part of Etosha." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Beautiful accommodation"
Evening meals were lovely and set in beautiful style and atmosphere , very small numbers compared to the larger places we had stayed .
Kids loved swimming here , and great access to the park . Staff very helpful and professional although perhaps a little reserved , we would have easily stayed here an extra night ." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
Having said that the staff were delightful, the swimming pool lovely, and the main restaurant area and camp fire in the evening was really good. The food here was also excellent, as was the service. The wart hog lawnmowers were a huge success and loved by everyone." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Boutique meets bush"
The tents themselves were exceptionally well-appointed and the main buildings were beautifully designed. The place lacked a little in warmth however, with the staff appearing to be slightly hassled and over-stretched. Consequently, the service at the restaurant and barbecue was rather slow. It was nice being surrounded by bush and the tents were very well spaced apart for privacy." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 7n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe; 2n in Botswana
"Mushara bush camp"
The staff were not outgoingly friendly but once we talked to them they would become more outgoing and friendly. Again, we were used to the staff the Wolwedans who had completely spoiled us. It would have been nice for the staff to give us a smile and say hello without us having to say it first.
The food was excellent and it was nice having dinner/BBQ one night in the courtyard.
The only negative experience (more like a minor annoyance) had had nothing to do with the staff or the camp, it was a family with ill-behaved small children. While we were trying to enough a quite dinner, the kids were running all over the dining room and screaming. There is nothing anyone could have done about this (except maybe better parenting!). I didn't expect to have such small children at a camp that seemed more adult then family-like." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"
Not the best guide, but adequate.
Checking out took a long time because the CC terminal was not working even after many attempts. Eventually we had to drive to their sister camp, the Outpost to pay. Even here we had to pay with a different card." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"A lovely stay outside the park"
The staff are superb, service excellent.
Food very good, we had 2 alfresco dinners & 1 in the beautiful dining room.
Rooms are lovely.
We did 2 guided safari's, and were lucky to see lots of animals. The guide was very knowledgeable." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 2n in South Africa
"Ensure that the flaps are done up tight!"
The staff bought out a birthday cake for a guest and entertained us all with their singing-very talented.
vegetarians; a nice meal the first night and they catered for us on the second night when there was a BBQ. The tables were laid out in a clearing and the area looked good with lanterns on all the tables.
The first night was very cold and windy and I could feel the draughts coming into the tent. All the canvas flaps were making a tremendous noise in the wind and I thought that the tent would disappear over our heads!
There is a mesh window on the wall of the shower and I decided it was too cold to go in there! The second night was less windy and we went around the outside of the tent to ensure that the flaps that we could reach were zipped up tight.
I appreciate that the wild life can't be controlled but the ants were everywhere-including in the shower. Don't take any food into the tent.
We enjoyed the game drive that we took into Etosha from the camp and had a very beautiful sun set behind us as we returned to the camp." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
