"Mushara Lodge review"
A bit impersonal and with little interaction with the staff.
The only place we stayed where we were charged for the drinking water in our room." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Good location near Etosha"
This was our least favourite of the places we stayed, although it was still really nice. Didn’t like the fact that the evening meal was at the same time for everyone - playing the jungle drums to call you there but not everyone showed up at the same time so you have to wait & it was 20 minutes before they then served the starter. Also, there was no choice, although it was better the second night when they did a barbecue.
Staff not as friendly here in comparison to the others where everyone was happy to say good morning. Only place that didn’t do afternoon tea." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Beyond Exceptional"
only comment: private Safari could be better, the guide was not as lively as what we experienced in all the other lodges (and we decided as a result to cancel one activity and do it on our own)" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

The rooms were excellent and we had a fabulous barbeque - set out on tables under the stars.
Great service and food." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Mushara Lodge Reivew"
One comment we would make was that it just had a slightly more commercial feel to it after all the other Lodges we stayed in. However, we enjoyed our stay and the surroundings were very pretty. It was a great location to explore the eastern side of Etosha and we thoroughly enjoyed the Lodge's own safaris. We would recommend using a Lodge safari as the guides are in communication with other guides and they advise each other where to go for the best animal sitings at the various waterholes. However, despite seeing lion tracks, we only actually saw one lion. Got the most amazing photos of a leopard chasing a young springbok. We should have made a note at the time of which animals we saw at each location but we were too excited taking photos." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa
"Mushara Lodge review"
Slightly disappointing that the only excursions were back into Etosha. We self-drove. We did have the thrill of seeing a leopard on the way to Mushara, sitting right on the side of the road.
All animals listed as seen below, where seen in Etosha not Mushara." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Mushara Lodge review"
The most disappointing feature was the quality of the guiding which was below the standard experienced in Zim, Zambia Tanz and RSA
The guide was charming and v willing but added v little value to that of a driver." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
