Namibia: O&L Leisure - Mokuti Revamp Update

Mokuti Revamp Update

Ernest Hemingway wrote “I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy.” Today is an exceptionally happy day for us as I have the pleasure to announce and share our official opening date for Mokuti Etosha Lodge with you.

In our last correspondence 4 months ago, we estimated that the revamp would take between twelve (12) to fifteen (15) months. Our project team is working tirelessly to remain on track with the envisioned refurbishment and today we can confidently and with great pride announce that our “Grand Dame” will be ready to welcome our valued guests as of 03 March 2023.

As we know, change is inevitable and in business change is vital. For Mokuti to remain a flagship safari destination, the upgrade is inclusive of the reception area, bars, dining room, kitchen, conference centre, pool bar-area and viewing deck, not to mention new activities that will be on offer. All of these will be brand new and ready to host our valued guests when we re-open, under the theme of “Africa Reimagined”! With this we will take each of our guests on a journey of rediscovering our African-Namibian heritage in a unique and contemporary way that is purposeful in capturing the imagination through the story that each element tells.

To ensure that you, our valued trade partners have a first-hand experience of our property, we will be booking site visits. You can also follow our journey of transformation and keep abreast of the changes that are about to come. Our reservation and sales teams are on standby and ready to assist you with any bookings or enquiries.

Namibia: O&L Leisure Group today

O&L LEISURE TODAY

A Christmas message from Managing Director, Norbert Wurm

It is with a sense of accomplishment that I can share that the O&L Leisure Group has done quite well during 2019, whereby we continue to show healthy growth and find opportunities in a challenging market. This success is wholly attributable to our people, who are continuing to create memorable and unique experiences that our guests love. Our iconic properties look amazing and plans are in the pipeline to further enhance these at every opportunity (watch this space) as we strive to be a catalyst for positive change creating new realities and fulfilling dreams:

Midgard added the very unique accommodation in the new “Train section”. The Midgard Train complex is conveniently located in the MCE gardens and within a short walking distance of the main lodge where the hotel’s dining room, bar, lounge, TV Room, boma and various outdoor terraces, pools, etc. are located. This unique facility is made up of three stationary passenger train carriages. These three carriages share two separate male and female ablution blocks. The facility also includes 3 basic kitchens and separate dining room. In the garden courtyard area is an open boma fire pit and a wood burning barbecue area.
We successfully hosted the Taste event at Midgard and were overwhelmed how well the event was accepted and attended by all, which has emboldened us to immediately start working on the next set of exciting events.

Chobe Water Villas welcomed a new GM couple in 2019. They bring with them new innovative ideas, many years of experience and a passion for nature. New boats and offerings are in the pipeline.

Mokuti is excelling and Ivan, the GM, is doing a tremendous job.  Little extra touches in the rooms are creating a stir. New cocktail menus and other ideas, including exciting night games drives with experienced rangers are either implemented already or will be in the very near future.

The Strand Hotel has revamped the Brewer and Butcher and it looks “wow”. The menus are constantly being reviewed at all 3 restaurants as to tantalise guests to come back for more, especially over the busy Christmas period. The new beer garden, with its charm and tradition, is perfectly suited for corporate functions and bigger groups.

Our properties have featured prominently on television and other media with each and every journalist loving the charm, the facilities, activities and great cuisine that we offer our guests. We must never forget that it is people, especially our staff at O&L Leisure, that make our business the success that it is.  At O&L Leisure we believe that investment in our staff gives the best return on investment and one can clearly see that our family is a happy one. Training, career opportunities, expansion and so much more are constantly addressed as to make this family smile. We thank each and every one of you that has worked so hard to make this year great.
We plan to excite and entice our guests with new offerings for the year 2020. 
As we look back and reflect upon the past year, with all our achievements and successes, we would like to show our appreciation for your support and continued loyalty during 2019. As we embark on this journey with you into 2020, we will embrace a future of continuous innovation to deliver new realities and fulfill dreams. You have been an integral part of shaping our business and for that we sincerely thank you. We wish you a very merry Christmas, a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to connecting with you in the New Year – All the best for 2020.
