EnquireSituated east of the Etosha National Park, Villa Mushara offers exclusive-use private villas ideal for families or those in search of luxury, privacy, and a convenient base from which to explore Etosha National Park.
The villas that comprise Villa Mushara are very spacious and private. Each has its own plunge pool, outside shower, viewing terrace, and spacious 140-metre living area, which includes a small library. The opulent style of the villas, with chandeliers and candelabras, or champagne and roses for honeymooners, harkens back to a colonial-era safari adventure suitable for families, small groups, and couples. Meals are served privately in the villa or in the sister property’s main area, Mushara Lodge.
Private morning and afternoon guided game drives in Etosha National Park are included in the all inclusive rate (extra if on dinner, bed and breakfast rate). Etosha is home to the Big Five, a variety of mongoose and wildebeest among others, and endangered species such as the black rhino.
Children of all ages are welcome at Villa Mushara, with children up to the age of 3 able to visit free of charge. The villas are suitable for families, and provide plenty of space for the parents and children. One of the villas is a two bedroom villa. There are no children-specific activities on offer.
Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”
