Mushara Lodge

Etosha National Park, Namibia

Mushara Lodge

Jump to:

The first of Mushara’s properties, Mushara Lodge is owned by Marc and Mariza Pampe, whose family were cattle farmers in eastern Namibia. Named after the trees which grow around the lodge’s grounds, Mushara has a peaceful setting.

The main lodge houses an impressive dining room, lounge and bar, with skylights making this a light and airy space in which to unwind. High thatched ceilings and old wooden beams give the property a traditional feel, while the large fireplace and low leather chairs create warmth and comfort to return to after spending the day out in the bush. In the evening, enjoy sundowners in the boma area with your fellow guests.

OUR OPINION:

Mushara is very comfortable and well located for Etosha. We found that the lounge is a great place to relax with a book or share your experiences. The rooms, service and food are excellent.
