"Mushara Lodge review"
A bit hotel-like for my liking but my daughters enjoyed a bit more comfort, hot water all day etc. Very well appointed bungalow accommodation with glass in the windows (not often encountered on our holiday!). Helpful friendly staff but rather large so not so personal." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Convenient for Etosha"
"Mushara Lodge review"
Our bungalow, close and comfortable. Tree squirrels amusing.
Very comfortable bed, best sheets so far; large room with good shower. The menu looked better than it tasted. Booked game drive N$500 with female guide Emelda. Early start, good breakfast. Picked up at 6.30, quite cool in the Land Rover. Great drive eventually seeing Cheetah. Back by 12.00 noon. relaxed afternoon with good dinner. All round a great day."

We ate our evening meal in a boma setting where the food served was very good as was the service." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Luxurious room. Fantastic garden."
The evening meal on the first night was a barbecue. The chef introduced the menu but it was difficult to hear/understand him. It also wasn't clear whether the soup and the salads were alternatives or separate courses. Further, when we went up to be served with the freshly BBQ'd meat, you had to hold your plate over the grill and it was hard not to get your hands burned. The food itself was delicious, as it was on the second night.
It was lovely to be awoken by the birds who lived in the woods behind our room and to see dik diks on our way to breakfast, not to mention the little family of warthogs who wandered into the garden. Absolutely charming!
The location was great for access to the eastern side of Etosha where we spent another marvellous day." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
