About Mushara Lodge

A comfortable safari lodge on the outskirts of Etosha National Park.
Mushara Lodge is situated about 8km from the eastern gate of Namibia’s Etosha National Park, within its own private nature reserve. Ten thatch and stone chalets are well spaced in the indigenous gardens around the swimming pool, with additional rooms and larger family units a short distance away. A step up from the basic rest camps in Etosha, Mushara offers comfortable safari-style accommodation and is an excellent choice for self-drive guests looking for great service and modern facilities within easy reach of the entrance to the park.

Property details

The property

A pretty fountain welcomes guests to the entrance of the lodge’s large main guest lounge, complete with open fireplace, leather couches, and a cosy bar, all under the high thatched ceilings. There's a small library with free WiFi, and a well-stocked curio shop. Meals are served in the adjoining restaurant or out on the terrace, with private candlelit dinners on request. Manicured lawns, where warthogs are frequent visitors, lead down to the large central swimming pool.

The rooms

Ten thatch and stone cottages are well spaced throughout the gardens. Each is en-suite with a shower, and double or twin beds with crisp white linens beneath mosquito nets. The rooms have cool natural stone floors, with décor in neutral bush tones and welcome air conditioning for the heat of summer. Three additional units, one of which has two rooms sharing a bathroom, plus a family house on the other side of the garden, round off the choice of accommodation.

Activities

Most guests at arrive at Mushara Lodge in their own vehicle, but the lodge does offer guided game drives into Etosha National Park with a focus on exploring the diverse terrain, both inside the park and across the surrounding wilderness regions. Etosha is renowned for excellent game viewing, particularly at the waterholes, where predator activity is at its most exciting. Back at the lodge, take a stroll through the lush gardens for some rewarding bird watching.
