In the vast arid space of Northern Namibia lies one of Southern Africa’s best loved wildlife sanctuaries. The Etosha National Park offers excellent game viewing in one of Africa’s most accessible venues. Zebra and springbok are scattered across the endless horizon, while the many waterholes attract endangered black rhinoceros, lion, elephant and large numbers of antelope. The ‘Pan’ provides a great, parched, silver-white backdrop of shimmering mirages to an area of semi-arid savannah grassland and thorn scrub. The pan itself contains water only after very good rains and sometimes for only a few days each year but is enough to stimulate the growth of a blue-green algae which lures thousands of flamingos.

In Namibia, you will discover African luxury. Mushara Bush Camp lodge situated a mere 20 minutes' drive from the renowned Etosha National Park. 27 major species of game roam this Namibian nature reserve, making Mushara Bush Camp the ideal get-away for a safari holiday.
