The Lodge
Mushara Outpost
Mushara Outpost is part of the Mushara Collection, on the C38 about 8 km before Von Lindequist Gate, the eastern entrance to Etosha National Park. Its tents stand on the banks of an old dry riverbed, an omuramba in the Herero language.
The main house is built like an old farmhouse, with high walls, a corrugated-iron roof and a wide veranda that wraps around it for shade. It feels like a well-lived-in home: friendly, comfortable and light, with old-fashioned, personal service.
Eight tents of wood and canvas take up to 16 guests. Mushara's guides take you into Etosha in open vehicles with raised seats, and there is a pool and library for the hours in between.

The Rooms
Each tent stands on a wooden deck 1.5 m above the ground, entered through a large glass sliding door. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the air through at night, and air-conditioning helps on hot afternoons. The open-plan bathroom has a glass shower and a separate toilet.
