"Mushara Bush Camp review"
There was quite a lot of wildlife close to the tents, hearing a pack of hyenas howling in the middle of the night and very close to the tent is one of the best memories of the holiday, even if it almost frightened me to death!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
Luckily the next day we were able do wildlife viewing from our air conditioned vehicle.
One night we had a special outdoor dinner with singing afterward by the talented staff. A lovely evening. However, on our final morning there was no one available to help us with our bags. Next time we may want to stay even closer to Etosha National Park or within the park." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"A lovely camp with lots of walks."
However I'm not sure what you would do here for longer other than go into Etosha." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia; 6n in Zimbabwe

"Mushara Bush Camp is exquisite"
The staff were wonderful, entertaining us at dinner with beautiful singing. 1 of our group had a birthday and they sang a special song for him. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and the level of comfort in our tents was extraordinary. Access to the park was easy, with several good waterholes nearby.
Everyone should have a few days here!" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia

"Really excellent Camp"
They are very new, with walls separating the toilet area and a nice large open shower. Tents are well isolated from outside world, you can close all zips to get full darkness and the best isolation from outside cold: there's no heating, but you'll find hot water bottles in your bed after dinner!
Lounge area looks great, and so does the swimming pool and "bush dinner" area, where on special nights they serve food to guest sitting around an open fire.
Staff has been super-professional and really helped us a lot! Definitely the best service we found in a lodge in Namibia.
Finally, half day drive inside Etosha has been great: the open land rover had only us as guests, the expert guide really focused on our requests and she managed to get us seeing a very special sight: a really rare pangolin!
We would recommend this lodge to anyone who feels OK with sleeping in a tented accommodation; for the others: don't be afraid - service and quality of accommodation is top-notch!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
Not the sort of tents we're used to but we coped somehow. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very nice if a bit minimalist. Nice touch being called to dinner by a drum. Dining tent beautifully illuminated with clusters of lights at the bigger tables. Stuffed toys and games available for young children." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
