"Mushara Outpost review"

3 nights Arrived 7 Sep 2014
"A very warm welcome upon arrival. Overall I would say the service was attentive, professional, discrete, but lacked some individualism.

We felt like guest in their house but what a beautiful place it was. The main building was wonderfully decorated with obvious a lot of time and consideration given to the furnishings and decor. The lodge was absolutely spotless with so many little touches. The food was really good and served at exactly the right pace.

The individual rooms reflected the attention in detail in the main building. Because you are on stilts it does get very cold at night . The glass surround shower was unique! We did see quite a few birds and animals from our veranda we guessed they were on their way to the nearby waterhole (not allowed to visit during the evening unfortunately).

Perfect location for Etosha so we were able to get there for opening in the morning come home in the afternoon and return late afternoon til dusk. I would definitely recommend this 'outpost'." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Fantastic"

2 nights Arrived 4 Aug 2014
"We were made to feel very special here and loved the privacy that the accommodation gave us. We especially liked the showers. the hot water bottles in our bed were a nice touch.

We didn't do any activities here and although tempted by the swimming pool we saw mosquito larvae and it wasn't as clean as we might have liked. Otherwise though it was a perfect place to stay and sitting around the fire in the evenings and watching the stars was lovely." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia

"Mushara Outpost review"

2 nights Arrived 21 Jul 2012
"Where to start?
We loved the food (tough to make a choice since the standards were VERY high everywhere we went to but, if I'd have to make a pick, this would be my favorite place to eat from our whole stay).
We really had a good time at the communal table
We loved the style of the place (very tastefully decorated).
Excellent guide and super friendly staff.
We loved the sense of privacy of the place, with the added possibility of taking a drink next to the fireplace: an excellent way to share stories with fellow travellers and/or take in the beautifull Namibian night-sky.
The room was very cozy and the bed was a joy to sleep in.
Wonderful place and can't wait to go back." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Mushara Villa - not Outpost"

3 nights Arrived 7 Oct 2011
"We made a mistake booking a tent at Mushara Outpost - it was cramped and uncomfortable with no outlook. We contacted the owner, Marc Pampe, who quickly relocated us to one of the two villas at Mushara Lodge. This was wonderful and worth the extra cost.

Highlight here was an eland coming to drink at "our" garden waterhole. We found the drive from the Lodge to the main park long and uninteresting. Our guide here was a driver rather than a guide compared with other camps.

The ratings relate to the Villa, not to Outpost." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"A little luxury at Etosha"

2 nights Arrived 26 Dec 2010
"This was the disappointment of our trip. The room and lodge were lovely, with fantastic tented accomodation and excellent food, but they were not running any activities and as it had started to rain we couldn't really saty around the pool.

We ended up driving back into Etosha for the day and evening. This let us see more animals and a different part of the park, but it may have been just as well to have stayed at the accomodation that side, inside the park." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
