Accommodation at Mushara Outpost is paired down luxury with eight chalets built on elevated decks with canvas roofing, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, en suite bathrooms with enclosed toilet and an open-plan shower with a cheeky private view of the Namibian bush.
The main living area is a charming farmstead house with a massive wrap-around verandah providing cool shade from the blazing sun and cooling the airy interior even further.
A large swimming pool invites an afternoon doze and the evening campfire, wine cellar and fancy food complete the picture of delightful relaxation.
The lodge is in a private game reserve with several small antelope and hundreds of birds setting the stage for your safari proper into Etosha, which is just 10km from your piece of paradise.
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 a luxury family lodge.
The lodge looks out over a dry riverbed for some lazy game viewing and excellent birding; guided safaris into Etosha National Park depart daily.
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.
