With an emphasis on family fun, Mushara Bush Camp is the newest addition to the impressive Mushara collection of safari lodges located in a private reserve 10km from the eastern gate of Etosha National Park.
Accommodation consists of 16 luxurious tented suites, four of which have additional beds to accommodate children. With plenty of privacy, large canvas doors and windows, en suite bathrooms and a private outside seating area, the chalets are pure bush luxury.
The main living area is a delightful thatch and wood structure with an inviting fire setting the mood from sunset onwards. A pool is an essential item in the hot African bush and the cool interior of the thatched house offers a memorable dining experience with the stars and sounds of the night all around you.
Children are especially well catered for with professional child minders, special meals, early dinner, a play area with a jungle gym, tractor and kiddie’s pool.
Game drives into Etosha Park are led by experienced guides in custom-built safari vehicles. Game viewing in Etosha is exceptional with waterholes surrounding the large shimmering pan and plenty of big game including rhino, elephants, lions, cheetahs and a host of large antelope, birds and smaller fascinating creatures.
The Mushara Collection now has a variety of safari lodge options in eastern Etosha, each offering a different level of luxury and price: Mushara Lodge is the original safari lodge; Villa Mushara is the ultra-luxurious and exclusive annex to the main lodge; Mushara Outpost offers sophisticated and affordable safari lodge accommodation and Mushara Bush Camp is the luxury family lodge.
Children’s activities including toys, games, jungle gym, swimming pool, an old tractor and junior safari activities; for the adults there are daily guided game drives in Etosha and walking trails in the private Mushara grounds.
The Mushara Collection operates with a strong commitment to sustainability, conservation and social responsibility, prioritising the well-being of its staff and the environment. Initiatives are aimed at empowering employees through educational programs and fostering sustainable travel practices. Waste is meticulously managed: recycling bins are placed throughout the property, paper and plastic are incinerated and glass and metal are securely stored on-site. Mushara avoids sending waste to poorly managed landfills in nearby towns, instead implementing eco-friendly disposal methods. Water is conserved with a natural filtration process using French drains, allowing treated wastewater to safely re-enter the environment. The Mushara Collection also embraces solar energy to reduce its carbon footprint, powering up to 70% of its needs through solar grids and using energy-efficient lighting and timed water heaters. Sustainable sourcing is a priority, with vegetables and herbs either grown on-site or sourced locally along with fresh fruit juices, jams and other services. Conservation efforts extend across Mushara’s reserves with the goal of minimising environmental impact while maximising resource efficiency. Their kitchen waste is composted to enrich soil for the gardens, which supply much of the collection’s produce. Across all lodges, the Mushara Collection continuously strives to reduce its environmental footprint while enhancing its natural surroundings.
