"Stylish and convenient access to Etosha"
There is a beautifully constructed, thatched central area with an elegant décor. The grassed area in front was a favourite grazing area for local wart hogs. One evening, dinner was served at the lantern lit Boma.
The accommodation is well spaced. We were in number 8 (of 16). It was about 200m from the lodge." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Mushara Bush Camp was luxurious"
An excellent early morning game drive into Etosha with a very knowledgeable guide was the highlight.
It had become extremely hot (40C+) by this time and we were very grateful for the air conditioning in our tent - too hot to sit out by the pool in the afternoon" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Smile once in a while it could catch on"
All the staff seemed to be under strict orders to be as grumpy as they could be if that was the case you can let them know they all passed with flying colours" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
The central area and restaurant were excellent and the staff were very good, helpful and friendly." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Warthog heaven at Mushara"
However the rooms and central area were wonderful. The lawn outside the restaurant area was a popular spot for warthogs and any time there were competing males together the lawn got chewed up and repair by the gardener a regular task." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Authentic, down to earth camp"
The setting was authentic as it was not manicured but attractive in a natural setting.
Staff were very good and the singing was lovely. We took a morning walk with a guide for some exercise. It was a slow walk but he gave us a lot of information about the tree and plant life." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Just a great lodge close to Etosha"
The tents\chalets are set in the bush at a little distance from the main reception area. These are well designed private, spacious and modern with integral showers and toilets. There are charging points and a kettle and tea making facilities. There is a safe and even an air horn in case of an emergency, which include insects you don't like apparently!
The food and service in the restaurant was excellent and you can even get a decent vegetarian option. The staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful and the whole place is kept spic and span. After dinner we were entertained by the staff choir which was was of an incredibly high standard.
Unfortunately we did not have chance to go on one of the morning walks due to illness and the lack of a guide. There is nothing to fault here." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 8n in South Africa
