Mokuti Lodge Renovation Project 2022/23
28.02.2022
We are heading into exciting times not only for our brands, but also the tourism industry, as travel begins to pick up slowly, both in Namibia and internationally. Having recently unveiled our revamped Midgard, we are excited for another one of our establishments to be transformed into a contemporary destination, whilst we preserve its 32-year character and heritage.
Today I share with you the exciting news that Mokuti Etosha Lodge will be undergoing a full upgrade. As a result of the construction to take place, the lodge will be closed as of 22 March 2022 for a period of twelve (12) to fifteen (15) months for the envisioned refurbishments to be completed.
The renovations will include a completely new main building (reception, bars, dining room, kitchen, conference center, including the pool bar and pool area, as well as the main entrance) will be demolished and rebuilt. The current Boma will also be demolished and relocated to a new bush location in a form of a new Sky-Boma. Current rooms will be upgraded, and additional rooms as well as new guest experiences and exciting activities will be added (e.g. conservation center, cultural village, new viewpoints, upgrades to the airstrip etc.)
Our grand dame, Mokuti, is ready for a facelift and keeping in line with our Purpose, “Creating a future, enhancing life”, we want to ensure that it will still be at the forefront of the hospitality industry in Namibia going forward. It is with faith in our future and the future of tourism, despite the unprecedented challenges we have faced, that O&L is investing in Mokuti once again and setting new standards for our country.
While this project was planned for a long time, key project requirements, including planning, financing and resourcing, were unfortunately delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These have now been put in place and in the current climate of uncertainty, we have taken the opportunity to proceed with this long-overdue project now, in a focused and purposeful manner. While Mokuti is already among Namibia’s top safari destinations, we now have the opportunity to totally reimagine the lodge and deliver what could be Namibia’s most loved destination under the theme of “Africa Reimagined”.
We look forward to this new chapter in Mokuti Etosha Lodge’s books and invite you to join us in this very exciting journey.
