O&L Leisure has given a facelift to its Mokuti Etosha Lodge with promises to offer ultimate safari.
In a statement released early this week, the group announced that the lodge’s reception, main restaurant, and pool bar area, including a brand-new kiddies pool, have undergone a complete overhaul over the last 15 months.
O&L Leisure said the lodge has been transformed into a contemporary “Africa Re-imagined”, offering the ultimate safari experience.
It however still preserves some facets of its 32-year character and heritage such as Mokuti’s lush gardens inhabited by the much-adored squirrels and Damara Dik-Dik, among others.
The lodge opened its doors to guests last weekend, 5 March 2023.
O&L Leisure Managing Director, Norbert Wurm, highlighted that the new logo encapsulated the overall identification of Mokuti Etosha, saying it is “Africa Re-imagined”.
Wurm said some familiar elements will be found at the same time and expect to encounter an enhancement that will lead to unique, different, and warm experiences.
“Everything here has a story and a reason, from the buildings to the different activities and occurrences,”he said.
He added that the new logo represented the colours of nature in and around Mokuti Etosha, while the magnificent sunsets and sunrises experienced at Mokuti Etosha as well as the endless horizons of the Etosha pan were also featured.
Wurm further said the new face with its logo inspires tranquillity and leaves space for imagination while Africa Re-imagined, embraces the imperfect imperfections of nature and its people.
Mokuti Etosha Lodge General Manager, Etienne Fourieexpressed his delight with the new experiences and adventures that the lodge will offer.
The aim, he said, is to create an unexpected, memorable, and unique experience for their guests as captured by O&L’s purpose of ‘Creating a future, enhancing life’.
With the help of designers and architects, the attention to distinctive African designs of walls, roofs and floors is unique and the Africa Re-imagined detail is enriched by scents and sounds throughout the lodge.
“We know that guests will enjoy Mokuti – which incidentally means in the bush – on a whole new tranquil level with raw, authentic, and immersive experiences'”Fourie concluded.
