Experience The Magic Of Mushara And The Etosha National Park From The Outpost
The Mushara Outpost is a safari camp situated just 10 km from the Von Lindequist entrance gate (Namutoni Gate) of the world-famous Etosha National Park.
Outpost accommodates 16 guests in eight custom-made tent-like wood and canvas structures which are nestled on the banks of an ancient dry river bed, known as "omuramba" in the Herero language.
The Mushara Outpost is all about old-fashioned hospitality with warm, friendly and personalised service on the doorstep to the wonders of Etosha National Park.
The camp's central guest area is styled like an old farmhouse with high walls, corrugated iron roof and a large wrap-around veranda facing northeast to take advantage of shade.
From Outpost, one can self-drive into the National Park or take a guided safari on offer by Mushara.
Rooms And Suites
The eight tented suites at The Mushara Outpost offer guests a comfortable and unique experience in the bush.
Each tented suite is set on a wooden deck, with large glass windows that offer plenty of air movement and allow for plenty of natural light.
The open plan en-suite bathroom features an enclosed toilet and shower with glass walls from top to bottom, giving guests a unique showering experience.
The furnishings are minimalistic and comfortable, with a light feel to them. Guests will enjoy the convenience of a minibar, coffee station, safe deposit box, telephone, mosquito net, hair drier, and air conditioner.
Whether one prefers to relax on their private veranda or inside their room, the tranquillity of the bush is always present.
Cuisine And Wine
Outpost is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family while on safari.
The cuisine at Outpost is varied and interesting with a mix of African and German flavours, something for everyone to enjoy. The wine selection at Outpost is excellent as is the locally-made beer, perfect for pairing with your meal.
The atmosphere at Mushara is warm and inviting, perfect for an evening out surrounded by the Etosha bushveld.

Camp Facilities
The beautifully appointed thatched central guest at Mushara Outpost offers guests a large lounge with a fireplace for the winter months, a well-stocked library, a reception area, as well as an indoor dining room and an outdoor open-air diner area.
A large cool swimming pool is found just off to the side of the central guest area.
A fireplace under the star is perfect for roasting marshmallows on balmy summer evenings or simply relaxing after a long day game viewing in the Etosha National Park.
There is also WIFI (although the connection is slow and unreliable).
Safari Activities
The Etosha National Park is one of Southern Africa's most renowned game reserves, having been designated a national park in 1907. The park covers 22 270 km² and includes 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species, and one type of fish.
Mushara Outpost offers guests two daily guided safaris and game drives into the Etosha National Park when booking the fully inclusive package.
We have included dinner, bed and breakfast rates on this page as most of our clientele travelling to the Etosha region will be on a self-drive safari and will not require game drives as they have their own vehicle. Guided game drives are available at an additional cost should one desire.
Birding around the Outpost is excellent; always have a camera close by.
In Conclusion
Outpost is a great place to stay if you're looking for old-fashioned hospitality and want to explore the wonders of Etosha National Park.
