"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Feb 2023
"Charming camp, very much our view of the ideal safari accommodation.

Lovely tents, welcoming service, nice food and well located for Etosha park.

On-site family of warthogs and various small animals wandering through in the evening is a bonus.

Had a close encounter with a mongoose while having a cup of tea!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 1 Nov 2022
"The only place without air conditioning so very hot as it was 38 degrees during the day.

Living area in the main building was cool and a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. Staff very good. Food okay although found the BBQ to be challenging meat has to be cooked to your requirements, they do not ask!

Kudu shank just about had some meat on it, such a shame as this meat is always tasty. Salad very tasty, dessert in the Boma had gone so no idea on that one.

Cold water not so initially in chalet 16 so got some from dining area for a decent cup of tea." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 22 Aug 2022
"Far exceeded our expectations. Beautiful central venue and whilst the family tent was a little cramped, it was really well equipped, clean and comfortable.

Service from the team was incredible. Best we’ve had. Kids (10 and 13) thought they were all great too.

We only took one game drive back into Etosha and it was a little disappointing tbh. Probably luck of the draw, but at times felt as if we were there to enable to guide to get photos.

We did our own drives the rest of the time and much preferred that and with far more success." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 19 Jul 2022
"Beautiful camp. The tents were great and very luxurious. The peaceful location and pool were relaxing.

The staff were excellent and helpful. The main lodge area was very attractive and comfortable and the food was gorgeous.

We did our own game drives from here back into Etosha which was very close and were able to see large volumes of big animals with little effort." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 5 Jun 2022
"Mushara Bush camp was a wonderful place for our entire family (kids ages 9, 12, 14, 16).

The location by Etosha is perfect. The tents are very comfortable and private. The grounds are well-maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good.

Mushara Bush camp was a wonderfully relaxing place and we especially appreciated the areas dedicated to kids (playground, book nook, craft tables, etc.)" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 28 May 2022
"We stayed two nights in this wonderful camp and visited Etosha each day. The bush camp is very luxurious with wonderful services and very comfortable and private tents. There was a fire each evening as the stars came out. The food and beverages were excellent. The staff was very professional and highly qualified. They seemed to accomplish their work effortlessly and with great pleasure. It was a camp I would return to without question." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 10n in Botswana

"Mushara Bush Camp review"

1 night Arrived 18 Mar 2022
"This is a lovely camp with excellent, comfortable, clean rooms and good general facilities. The pool area was well maintained. The central lodge area had plenty of comfortable seating and there was good wi-fi throughout including in the rooms.

Food at both dinner and breakfast was, as it has been in the past, excellent. The best thing, though, about this camp are the staff - they were friendly, welcoming and helpful showing genuine concern to ensure all guests were happy, well looked after and that all needs were met."
