Mushara Bush Camp is the ideal place for families visiting the Etosha National Park, as it is the first totally child friendly lodge in the area with complimentary child-minders, kiddies pool and kiddies corner.
The main Bush Camp area is thatched with the true bush camp feel to it. Your days can be spent absorbing the peaceful bush surroundings or exploring Etosha National Park, while the early evenings see a camp fire lit where you can exchange stories of the day's wildlife sighting. Dinner, lunch and breakfast are served on the thatched verandah with the bush being a mere step away.
The 16 custom made en-suite tents are built from a combination of canvas, wood and local limestone. With their own 8 square metre private verandah and roof to floor windows, theses rooms are spacious and airy. Each large bathroom has an
oversized window and shower looking into the surrounding bush. The brushed cement floors and lime stone walls keep the rooms cool from the afternoon sun. Four of these tents are ideally suited for families with small children as they have a sleeper couch for two children.
Etosha National Park covers an area of 22,270 sq km and is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 16 amphibian species and 1 species of fish. Let the experienced and enthusiastic guides introduce you to the intricacies of the Etosha Pan, explaining both the flora, fauna and local mythology on various species you may encounter. With luck you my catch a glimpse of the elusive and highly endangered black rhino, leopard, cheetah or any one of the abundant game species that occurs here. The Land Rover game-viewers, offer an iconic African platform from which to sit and admire the surrounding vistas.
Located in the Kunene region of Namibia, Etosha National Park is famed for its enormous salt pan so large it can be seen from space! The hypersaline conditions of the pan limit the species that can permanently inhabit the pan itself, but during summer it fills with water which attracts pelicans and flamingos, making it both geologically stunning and wildlife rich.
The saline desert of the park is home to various grazers such as blue wildebeest and springbok, as well as other exciting animals such as giraffe, zebra and an abundance of birds. Perhaps the most exciting of the parks features of the fact that it contains four of the big five – the African elephant, both black and white rhinoceros, lions and leopards, making it a true African paradise.
The dolomite hills on the southern border are called Ondundozonananandana, meaning “place where young boy herding cattle went to never return”, presumably referencing the large number of predators, giving the mountains its English name of Leopard Hills. But don’t worry, fantastic guided tours will ensure both your safety and your enjoyment on this incredible experience.
