Mushara Bush Camp review
A friendly reception with good food. It was cold at night and blankets were provided at dinner! I took one to the tent for extra warmth at night.
We again drove ourselves around the Etosha waterholes seeing a great deal of wildlife including DikDik. A much better atmosphere than Okaukuejo.
Mushara Bush Camp review
The best lodge we stayed in.
Very beautiful, nice food, friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Perfect place if you travel with children.
Just a short drive to Etosha east gate.
Canvas luxury
Ideally positioned just outside Von Lidequist Gate Etosha a 10 min ride away.
Under canvas and very comfortable and some interesting animal noises through the night. The culprits arriived on the lawn the next morning keeling to feed in only the way warthogs do.
Another friendly welcome by the staff and among them another well rehearsed choir who entertained us around the evening camp fire and barbeque banquet.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Close to Etosha and good location for an overnight stay before visiting the park. The hotel grounds were pleasant but limited in where one could walk around the grounds, although we did see some wildlife there such as warthog and steenbok. We didn't use a guide for any trips but we spoke at length to one guide who seemed very ignorant.
Food reasonable and wine fairly priced. Rooms very comfortable (hot water bottles!); attentive staff.
Mushara- wonderful!
Our first Etosha camp (after which we went to Halali, Okaukeujo and Ongava) and it did not dissapoint. A beautiful place, great food and very friendly staff. We travelled as a couple and the presence of a young family did not bother us at all (the camp actively welcomes children- but they are kept well entertained with toys and their own play area). The room was lovely- four poster bed, a coffee/tea station stocked up with biscuits. A very relaxing place to come back to after our drives into Etosha.
The Eastern Etosha gate is less than 5 minutes drive away and its a great area to explore. Very different from other areas of Etosha. During our stay there we saw a leopard on the first day (in the morning) and on the second day, a leopard and her two cubs playing by the side of the road (in the evening). Very rare sightings which we were lucky to see.
We were advised that staying at Mushara would be more comfortable than staying at Namutoni (the government camp, within Etosha) and we were advised very well.
This camp was one of our favourite places in our whole trip and we are looking forward to returning!
Mushara Bush Camp review
Everything here was very good indeed. We loved the "bush-tents" which are well spaced out around the grounds for privacy.
The food and service was excellent - only let down by luke warm coffee at breakfast!
Excellent location for access to Etosha.
My only concern here would be that this lodge makes a point of being "child friendly" so visitors should expect more of a family atmosphere rather than peace and quiet. This wasn't a problem for us but anyone wanting total relaxation should be aware.

The scores below are comparative to the other places we stayed.
What they cannot show is the very high level of service the staff deliver, they are superb.

This camp was a great place to stay as a stop over, just outside Etosha. Very attractively designed accomodation, however let down by some tasty but cold food.

Good location for quick, easy access to the East side of Etosha - although it needs better signage outside from the road. The tents were great and had everything you could possibly want!
The staff were eager to please but were a bit overwhelmed when the camp was busy - meaning some long waits at meal times. That said, the staff were very good with children and it would be a good place to go if you are a family with kids.
Mushara Bush Camp review
Wonderful place to stay. The height of tasteful decor, friendly staff, great swimming pool, excelllent food and accommodation. We loved staying here and would recommend it highly.
A bit hot in the tent with just a fan which was not really very effective as we had to sleep under mossie nets and would imagine in high season it could be quite hot. It was my birthday and the staff sang to me, baked me a beautiful cake and made it a very special evening for me.
