The Etosha National Park in the north of Namibia extends over 22,270 square kilometres and was established in 1907. It is a remarkable sanctuary for the country’s diverse wildlife, based on the enormous Etosha Pan that receives seasonal water flows from the north-east. Mushara Outpost is a unique tented lodge just 10 km from the gate to the Etosha National Park, a beautiful mixture of desert, semi-desert, and savannah habitat. The Mushara Outpost is one of a collection of privately owned luxury accommodations. Created and owned by Namibians, Marc and Mariza Pampe, this lodge was completed in 2009. Great design and decoration make it an exceptionally attractive and comfortable location to view the area’s wildlife.
Mushara Outpost consists of eight tent-like wood and canvas permanent rooms offering simple elegance on the banks of an ancient dry riverbed. Air conditioning and splendid furnishings are provided for comfortable lodging, while large glass windows and doors provide immersion into the surrounding bush. A spacious veranda also allows guests to relax amidst the open air.
Combining modern comfort with rustic atmosphere, the lodge’s main house is fashioned like an old farm house with a country wrap-around veranda. Stylish furnishings provide a comfortable place to relax and enjoy tranquil landscapes and high level service. Daily management is in the hands of a predominantly female local team, who demonstrate not only their excellent training, but also an enthusiasm for their roles, not the least of which is their singing !
In addition to included meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, a stay at Mushara Outpost also includes experienced guides for a safari experience into Etosha National Park. While this region has considerable dry land, the park’s select watering holes provide the perfect place to watch wildlife as they retreat to the water. From a variety of birds to large game, your visit to Mushara Outpost will certainly be exciting and memorable.
