Why stay at Mushara Outpost
Mushara Outpost is the small, adults-focused tented camp of the Mushara Collection: eight custom-made wood-and-canvas tent-chalets raised 1.5 metres above the banks of an ancient dry riverbed (omuramba), 10 km from Von Lindequist Gate. Glass sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows make the tents feel more like elevated glass cabins than canvas; each is air-conditioned with an open-plan bathroom and glass shower cubicle.
The main house plays against the tents deliberately — styled like an old Namibian farmhouse with a corrugated-iron roof and wrap-around veranda, serving homemade meals with produce from the Mushara garden.
- Sixteen guests, total. Eight tents make this one of the smallest camps on the eastern side — quiet decks, quiet dinners, no under-12s.
- Ten kilometres from the gate. At Von Lindequist for opening time, Fischer’s Pan and the Namutoni circuit before the day traffic.
- A fully-inclusive option that includes the park. The FI rate adds all meals, local drinks, laundry and two scheduled Etosha drives daily — park fees included.
- Family-run consistency. The same owners (Mariza and Marc Pampe) who built Mushara Lodge 25 years ago run all four properties.

Who Mushara Outpost suits
Couples and friends travelling without young children who want design-led tented comfort at a sensible price point — noticeably below the private-reserve flagships across the road. For classic lodge rooms, compare Mushara Lodge; for the exclusive top end with a private vehicle, Villa Mushara; for full private-reserve immersion (at a different budget), the Onguma reserve.
Getting to Mushara Outpost
From Windhoek: B1 north about 430 km to Tsumeb, a further ~74 km, then left onto the C38 toward Namutoni; the Outpost entrance is signposted 1 km beyond Mushara Bush Camp’s, 10 km from Von Lindequist Gate. Fly-in guests use the collection’s own 1,400 m airstrip or Mokuti’s, with complimentary transfers for overnight guests. GPS: S 18° 48′ 914″ E 17° 8′ 191″.

Frequently asked questions about Mushara Outpost
Are children allowed at Mushara Outpost?
From 12 years, at adult rates. The collection routes younger families to Mushara Bush Camp, 1 km away, which is purpose-built for children — family tents, kiddies’ pool, play area and child minders — so both camps keep the atmosphere they promise.
Is dinner-bed-&-breakfast or fully-inclusive better value?
If you plan to join two guided Etosha drives a day, FI usually wins: the difference between DBB and FI double (NAD 7,800 in the 2027 shoulder season) buys two daily drives for two people (NAD 6,600 at 2027 prices) plus all lunches, local drinks and laundry. Committed self-drivers keep DBB and buy lunch packs.
How far is the Outpost from Etosha?
10 km from Von Lindequist Gate by the collection’s own measurement — about ten minutes, with the Namutoni circuit and Fischer’s Pan immediately inside the gate.
Outpost, Bush Camp or Mushara Lodge?
Outpost is the small adults-focused tented camp; Bush Camp is the value and family camp; the Lodge is the original flagship with conventional rooms; Villa Mushara is the two-villa exclusive tier. Same kitchen garden, same guiding team, four different price points.
How far in advance should I book?
Eight tents go quickly for July–October — 6 to 9 months ahead is realistic for dry-season dates; shoulder season is more flexible.
