View game in style with O&L Leisure

Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Leisure has invested in new customised premium Land Cruisers for its Mokuti Etosha, reflecting its commitment to provide unparalleled and exclusive nature-based experiences in alignment with its premium positioning.

“At O&L Leisure, our investments in premium products are not just about aligning with our new premium position – they embody our commitment to authenticity, care, and passion,” said O&L executive chairman and acting managing director, Sven Thieme.

In line with efforts to elevate their offerings to enrich the overall guest experience, the handpicked and customised Land Cruisers add a distinctive touch to our unique offerings, he said.

Premium comfort

The new Land Cruisers have been meticulously customised to enhance the safari experience at Mokuti Etosha, reflecting the company's authentic approach to guest satisfaction.

Notable features, such as USB/USBC charging points, a camping Engel fridge in the front row and adjustable armrests for camera positioning, demonstrate their commitment to caring for their guests' needs.

O&L said the removal of the seats to cater exclusively to smaller groups of eight maximum promotes an intimate and personalised experience.

“The premium version ensures superior comfort with better seating and soft suspension, embodying our passionate dedication to delivering enjoyable and unforgettable moments," Thieme said.

A non-slip table in the second row exemplifies attention to detail, providing guests with a convenient space for personal items, drinks, cameras and more.

Thieme said the Land Cruisers customisation makes them particularly well-suited for safari game drives, providing enhanced comfort, convenience and an intimate experience for guests.

“This investment aligns seamlessly with our broader strategy for promoting tourism in Namibia. We are focusing on premium positioning, where comfort, class and exclusive personalised experiences are at the forefront, offering a world-class experience.”

Community benefits

As Namibia transitions to a premium destination, this investment is not just about elevating guest experiences, the MD explained.

“It is about fostering benefits for the local community and economy. By attracting international tourism and business to the region, we anticipate substantial positive impacts on local employment, aligning with our authentic care for the communities we operate in.”

This investment sends a strong message to the global tourism community about Namibia's commitment to providing exceptional nature-based experiences, he added.

“Our open vehicles, with only one middle row at the back, bring guests closer to nature, offering truly immersive and unforgettable moments. As O&L Leisure, we are excited about the transformative impact of these premium Land Cruisers, reinforcing our dedication to delivering exceptional safari experiences and contributing to Namibia's status as a top-tier destination for nature-based adventures," said Thieme.
