O&L Leisure, a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List Group, has reopened the Chobe Water Villas under a refreshed brand, “Namibia Through Our Eyes,” aiming to offer a more authentic Namibian experience.
Sven Thieme, Managing Director of O&L Leisure and Executive Chairman of Ohlthaver & List, said the rebranding prioritizes authenticity, care, and passion, transforming Chobe Water Villas into a retreat where visitors can immerse themselves in Namibia’s unique charm.
The revamped villas are part of O&L’s new “Namibia Through Our Eyes” campaign, celebrating the country’s scenic and cultural heritage across O&L Leisure properties.
“The essence of Chobe Water Villas lies in its ability to offer visitors a rare blend of tranquility and adventure, capturing Namibia’s soul in every detail. This is a place where ‘heaven meets earth’ and where guests can truly experience the serene, majestic rhythm of nature,” he said.
Thieme said guests at the Chobe Water Villas can enjoy curated experiences, including morning game drives, elevated skywalks, and stargazing excursions, all designed to highlight Namibia’s natural beauty. O&L Leisure also emphasizes sustainable tourism, with initiatives that protect the area’s fragile ecosystem and promote responsible travel.
“The updated identity at Chobe Water Villas underscores O&L’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and conservation, protecting the region’s fragile ecosystem while offering guests an unforgettable stay that’s rooted in respect for the natural environment. Each carefully curated experience at Chobe Water Villas is an invitation to see Namibia from a new perspective,” he said.
The Chobe Water Villas rebrand is a key milestone in O&L Leisure’s Masterbrand strategy, set to unify guest experiences across its properties by 2025.
