“Luxury and comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

On arrival all our group of 12 were absolutely 'blown away'. I could actually feel their souls soaking in the ambience. All the staff are helpful and friendly. The lounge with its open fireplace is welcoming. Dining is a real pleasure. Rooms are spacious and very well appointed, handy to everything. This is a great place to base yourself to be able to go into Etosha National Park (Eastern entrance - Namutoni) daily. A must for the discerning traveller. You won't be disappointed.

“Warm welcome and stylish chalets”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

If you're planning to visit Etosha Park-look no further. This Lodge is an excellent choice if you wish to stay near the Eastern side of the park. The park is only a short drive away. We just returned from 3 weeks in Africa and spend a couple of nights at the Mushara Lodge. The chalets are so beautiful it feels like you stepped into a designer magazine. The color choices and quality of the materials are superb. After a day driving through Etosha and seeing Elephants, Giraffes, Zebra, Ostrich, Flamingo, Antelopes and many more animals do you retire to a beautiful and calm oasis. The dinners in the evening were lovely and staff went out of their way to accommodate our daughter who is vegetarian.

“Absolutely loved it, most wonderful rooms and atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This is an absolute gem amongst the lodges in Namibia, the rooms are wonderfully modern and cosy, a rainshower makes your start of the day just magic, staff is very friendly and the food is great. A family of wrathogs roaming the grounds are an extra bonus.

“Lovely but comes with a price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Still would rate Mushara as a 4 as was a lovely venue although was very expensive and felt slightly corporate. I personally prefer smaller, family-run places but if big is your thing then Mushara is a good bet. Rooms lovely and, despite no view, it's a quick drive to Etosha.

“Wonderful place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2011

We spent two nights at Mushara as we came towards the end of our Namibia adventure and we loved it!All of the staff provide a first class service and the accommodation is fantastic!Every meal we ate at Mushara was superb, probably the best we had eaten in Namibia.We took an evening and morning game drive into Etosha with the guide they provided, and Thomas was excellent.We did also drive through Etosha on our own and saw so much we couldn't believe!Yes, Mushara is in a fantastic location and provides every service you could wish for to a very high standard!
