Okaukuejo Camp
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
15 Nov 2017
"Much more mass market than the other places. Nowhere near enough sun beds at the pool.
The night drive was excellent - we were lucky enough to see a lion - and the water hole attracted lots of interesting wildlife including rhinos."

Mushara Bush Camp
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
17 Nov 2017
"The Bradt guide gives the impression that there are walks around the Mushara estate, which was not the case. After an excellent day spent travelling through Etosha NP, visiting water holes and seeing wild life, we did not feel the need to do a further trip from Mushara.
We did enjoy the accommodation and facilities but activities other than Etosha are needed."
