The Mushara Outpost is on the same reserve as the Mushara Lodge and Villa Mushara, as the crow flies 2 km east of the Mushara Lodge. Guests are accommodated in custom made tents on a wooden deck nestled amongst trees on the western bank of a small omuramba, also known as a dry river bed. The tents face eastwards, to allow for privacy and protection from the sun which is harshest from the west.
Each tent has a deck of 12 square meters of private space which provides the perfect spot for enjoying the solitude of nature. A large glass sliding door leads into the tent, all windows and doors are covered with fly-screen to keep cool air in and insects out. Three large glass windows stretching from ceiling to floor allow for plenty of fresh air during the night. For very warm afternoons, air conditioning adds an extra level of comfort. The open-plan bathroom has an enclosed toilet with ceiling and two large windows. The shower walls are glass from top to bottom. The furnishing of the tent is minimal, comfortable and has a light feel to it. A mini bar, coffee station, safe, telephone, mosquito net and hair drier are standard.
The main lodge is styled on an old farm house and has tall walls and a corrugated iron roof with a large wrap around veranda. This is North-east facing to take advantage of cooling shade. The ambiance is that of a well lived in house, friendly, warm and extremely comfortable with a homely atmosphere. Dinner is enjoyed under the African stars, breakfast and lunch are taken on the veranda and in the house. A wide refreshing pool is welcome relief after a hot day in Etosha where the focus of the day's activities take place.
