"A little luxury at Etosha"
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

One of the drivers changed one of our tyres when we had a puncture." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Warthogs on the lawn"
Very stylish effect somewhat spolit by the warthog poo all over the lawns - though they clearly made some effort to clear it up you had to be careful when by the pool in bare feet - not quite in keeping with the image they were aiming for. The room was lovely (we were in 7) with a verandah perfect for sitting and watching the wildlife go by.
The staff were delightful and the food different and good." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"watch out for the dik dik and warthogs"
Nice elegant dinner. Such a shame that breakfast at 6am was served outdoors on the terrace with the temperature about 10-11oC which literally froze me. The tea was already cold by the time it reached the table served in large wide cups - it would have been better to serve teapots. Needless to say I did not hang about. After 7am once the sun was up it might have been ok.
Sometimes hot was on left and sometimes right in Namibia.
Beautiful tent and elegant bathroom area." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
Marc Pampe, Mushara’s owner, was concerned by this, and commented that when arriving at any of the three entrances to the Mushara properties (Mushara Lodge / Mushara Bush Camp / Mushara Outpost), there’s a large sign board at the gate telling guests exactly where they are, and which entrance/road to use for each particular camp/lodge. We’re very sorry that somehow these travellers must have missed this, or not seen it.

"Wonderful place"
Especially enjoyed the pool and watching the family of Warthogs on the lawn. The night fire and staff singing were much appreciated. A lovely place to spend our two days chilling out after a very hectic itinerary." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia

"Mushara Outpost review"
"Well located, good food, mosquitos!"
The welcome was friendly, the central building was very nicely designed and furnished and was very comfortbale and relaxed. The lodges however (only eight of them) were the smallest rooms we stayed in on our trip and whilst furnished well the slight lack of space meant you wouldnt spend much time in the room. Its within easy striking distance of the Etosha park, and very easy to find just off the main road.
The dinner we were served was of a good quality - it was chef prepared for us, fresh, and well presented (no choice, the menu is fixed) so we have no complaints here. Breakfast was ok, but we didnt linger over this as we were leaving promptly for the etosha park.
One of the guests had a birthday, so at the end of dinner all the staff inc from the kitchen came out as a surspise and sang for her (and indeed all the guests) which was actually quite moving and was a real highlight of our stay. Advice on animal sightings in Etosha was also freely given, which proved very helpful (do ask!)." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
