"Mushara Lodge review"
"great"
"A 'colonial' style lodge"
The facilities, food and service were of a high standard." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Luxurious lodge"
We had the family house which was extremely spacious.
It is about a 10 minute drive to the park gate. We always arrived early although procedures at the park gate could be speeded up to everyone's advantage.
Food service etc are all of the highest class." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"A nice venue on the eastern edge"
"Mushara Lodge - back to luxury"
Our chalet was beautifully furnished and decorated. It was clean and well maintained.
Note - the chalets face fairly thick scrub land and not the pool." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia
"Mushara Lodge review"
The only weakness of the place, surprisingly, was the reticence of the staff. The staff was polite and professional, but quite reserved. We're not an especially talkative bunch, but we were consistently the ones to greet staff members we encountered during our stay. Everyone was quite serious and we didn't see many smiles or get the welcoming warmth we found at a number of the other lodges. None of this would be very noticeable except that they do everything else so well here. For example, for my wife's birthday we found a beautiful bouganvillia arrangement around her place setting and a nice note -- but the staff never actually wished her a happy birthday or said anything at all to her about it. Also, both nights the server broke the cork trying to take it out of the wine bottle. Not a big deal, but a better cork screw and perhaps some additional training would have prevented that. And when we checked in, we were left standing at the desk for nearly ten minutes with the staff unable to find our reservation and going off to seek help. But when I glanced down at the reception table, I could see the paper listing our names and rooms. These are all small things and hardly worth mentioning but they were noticeable because the quality level here was otherwise so high. One last suggestion would be to create a walking or driving trail for guests. Or even a guided walk or drive if there is a wildlife concern.
Mushara was also the only lodge we visited where we were told at check in that the activities for the next morning were already booked and full." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mushara Lodge review"
Lovely comfortable room.
Food bit off first night, meat chewy in the Goulash! Second night good barbecue with great oryx steak.
Policy of having doors open in a morning while eating encourages squirrel like creatures to roam, not ideal.
Handy for the east side of the park.
Had a quick email response to food quality and service being a bit overt rather than helpful. Did not raise the squirrel issue." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa
