"Mushara Lodge review"
There is not as much personal feel as Barchan, Sam's Giardino or Nhoma lodges, but the services were good and the food was delicious." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Mushara Lodge review"
After visiting Etosha park from Anderson Camp, we saw some different animals and the east side of the park was more quiet. We saw lions mating and spotted the Rhino." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Mushara Lodge review"
"Mushara Lodge review"
The welcoming staff were just that - relaxed and friendly, and as at Damaraland, not averse to bursting into song upon occasion (there was a birthday that evening).
First impressions were of an ex-colonial style hotel - possibly because of the zebra skin in reception, and the light airy lobby area.
Look out for small deer and Kudu in the grounds along the driveway, particularly at dusk/morning - but maybe best not to go out alone after dark as apparently predators have been known to pass through the area..." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"A warm welcome at Mushara Lodge"
We were very happy with our rooms. I have an irrational fear of spiders and I was a bit worried about staying in a lodge with a thatched roof - but I didn't see a single one!
The food was good.
We saw kudu and impala wandering around in the grounds outside our lodge, which was lovely. This was a relaxing and comfortable base from which to explore the eastern end of Etosha." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
