"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jun 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Canvas luxury"

2 nights Arrived 13 Jun 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

1 night Arrived 12 Jun 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Mushara- wonderful!"

2 nights Arrived 30 May 2011
"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!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 4 May 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Luxury Tent Loveliness"

3 nights Arrived 16 Apr 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
