    Windhoek - Etosha National Park

    After breakfast in the capital city, visitors transfer by road back to Windhoek International Airport for a charter flight to the Mushara Airstrip. From there, they take a road transfer to the lodge. African safari tours in Namibia often include visits to Etosha National Park, known for its diverse wildlife.

    The exquisite Mushara Outpost, situated just 10 km from the Von Lindequist Gate of the world-famous Etosha National Park, accommodates just 16 guests, guaranteeing exclusivity. The comfortable and spacious tents, raised off the ground to provide a different perspective of the bush, are nestled along the banks of an old, dry river bed. Visitors can enjoy the privacy of their veranda or soak in the warm, comfortable ambiance of the lodge's main house. Safari adventures in Namibia offer the chance to experience the African wilderness in comfort and style.

    The location of the camp allows visitors to explore one of the largest reserves in Africa, providing many opportunities to view an extensive range of wildlife. Elephants can be spotted in thicker vegetation, together with endangered black rhino, giraffes, antelopes, lions, and leopards. The centerpiece of the park is a 4,731 km² salt pan.

Why travel with Tranquil Safaris?

116 itineraries are published on this site, across 12 destinations; 49 of them run through Uganda, where the company is based and licensed. Any one of them can be read in full — the route, the parks, the nights — before you speak to anybody. What follows is the case for using us, and not one line of it asks you to take our word for it.

  1. The whole trip is written down first

    Every trip of four days or more is set out one day at a time: where the day goes, what happens in it, where the night is spent. The one-, two- and three-day trips are written up in full as prose instead. Nothing is held back until you enquire.

    Read the itineraries
  2. A park is named only when a day is spent in it

    A trip is listed against a park because its itinerary genuinely spends time there, never because the name turns up in the write-up. 40 parks and reserves are covered on that rule, and each one lists the trips that actually go.

    Browse parks and reserves
  3. Small groups, or the vehicle to yourself

    Groups are kept small — typically four to twelve guests — and a private departure can be arranged instead.

  4. A planner answers, not a checkout

    There is no basket on this site, no price list and no booking engine. Shortlist what interests you in the trip planner, or write from the contact page: the message reaches the people who plan the routes.
