Mushara Bush Camp

Mushara Bush Camp sits ten kilometres from the Von Lindequist Gate, the eastern entrance to Etosha National Park. The camp is a practical and comfortable base for independent travellers and families driving themselves through the park each day.

Sixteen en-suite tents combine canvas, wood and local limestone. Each has an eight-square-metre private verandah and floor-to-ceiling windows. The bathrooms are large, with an oversized window and a shower that looks directly into the bush. Brushed cement floors and limestone walls hold the cool through the afternoon heat. Four of the tents are configured for families, with a sleeper couch that fits two children alongside the main sleeping area; each family tent takes up to two adults and three children aged twelve and under. The remaining twelve are double tents for two guests.

The main house is thatched. Breakfast, lunch and dinner come out to the thatched verandah. In the early evenings a campfire is lit, and guests gather to compare what they saw in the park that day.

Etosha covers twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy square kilometres and holds more than three hundred bird species alongside large herds of elephant, lion, and black and white rhinoceros. Game drives into the park depart from the camp, and bird watching is available both on-site and inside the reserve. The camp also has a pool, bar, library and complimentary internet access.
