"Mushara Outpost review"
Pleasant accommodation, food also pleasant but could hear all tables around us complaining about having to pay for bottled water. Would be better to charge extra and make table water included
The hide at the water hole was lovely to sit and quietly watch a good assortment of antelope. Very underused it seemed" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

Our room was comfortable and the situation amongst the trees is lovely.
The main lodge with the restaurant and bar area is beautiful and has a freindly ambience." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Mushara Outpost review"
The food here was excellent, and the lodge was very accommodating in its meal times to allow us to maximise our time in Etosha, as we stayed in until closing at 19.10 both evenings. The breakfast options were laid out for us to help ourselves to when we came back from the park at 09.30, with the usual large array of choice, and hot options cooked up for us too. The second evenings meal was a braai, where there was an extremely large selection of cooked meats, salads and accompaniments. The homemade coleslaw was delicious.
We made use of the laundry service on offer here. This service was very good, but we noted subsequently when comparing with other lodges, it was slightly more expensive for us to have done it here than elsewhere. The swimming pool area is not overly large, but was a very nice, relaxing environment. We also checked out the on site waterhole, and saw several different types of antelopes. They also have a resident 'mob' of meerkats. We also saw a genet on the path back to the room after dinner.
It was a quiet time to visit the lodge, on the first evening, there was one other party of Americans, who had also driven across the park from Okaukuejo like us. On the second night another couple from the UK had arrived. There was ample opportunity to talk to fellow guests, especially around an outdoor firepit at dusk with drinks, but we all dined at separate tables."

"Mushara Outpost - my first safari"
Service at Mushara was so warm, welcoming and friendly. Helena always made sure we were happy with our meals. The staff really listened to our dietary requirements (diabetic and vegetarians in the group) and did all they could to meet our needs. On the second night of our stay there was a traditional ‘bomba’ or outdoor bbq/buffet meal which was really sociable and fun.
We had an amazing first morning game drive in Etosha, where we got to see almost all of the big five (we saw a leopard on our self drive the next day), in large part due to our superb guide Ute who responded quickly to all of the live information of sightings in the park, as well as an eagle eyed German family on the drive with us."

Disappointing that although bird watching in the gardens here is mentioned, the person who acted as guide for bird watching was away. And nobody else knew anything." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Spoilt rotten at Mushara"
Room spacious and well equipped with inside and outside shower.
Food was varied and tasty.
The staff made a fuss of my wife on her birthday decorating our breakfast and evening meal table, which was a lovely gesture. They made a cake and serenaded her with songs of celebration, which was a lovely touch. They all had incredible voices and they seemed to enjoy doing it!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
