New aircraft fleet enhances access to iconic destinations under the banner of “Namibia through our eyes”
In its continued commitment to redefine the Namibian travel experience, the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group has announced the acquisition of two new aircraft, elevating access to its premier O&L Leisure destinations for both Namibian and international guests.
In addition to the Beechcraft 1900 V5-SAN (a 14-passenger twin-engine turboprop ideal for group travel) and the Cirrus SR22 V5-SGB, the newly acquired fleet now also includes:
- King Air B350 V5-DAN – a new generation aircraft designed for mid-sized groups (up to 8 passengers) and executive charters.
- Cirrus SR22 V5-SLK – a sleek, modern aircraft crafted for private travel with personalised comfort.
This development marks a significant step in O&L Leisure’s strategic repositioning as a premium provider of authentic, luxury travel experiences. As part of the Group’s broader Vision 2029 growth strategy, these acquisitions not only enhance access to our current portfolio (the newly reimagined Mokuti Etosha, the iconic Strand Hotel Swakopmund, the exclusive Chobe Water Villas nestled in the Zambezi Region, and the beloved Midgard – a treasured destination for generations, set in the heart of the beautiful Otjihavera Mountains just outside Windhoek) but also pave the way for future expansion into other handpicked, unique locations across Namibia.

By offering seamless, private connections, the new fleet redefines how guests experience Namibia: enjoying world-class service and comfort from the very outset of their journey. Whether soaring above the shimmering Etosha pans, skimming the rugged coastline, or touching down amidst the lush waterways of the Zambezi Region, guests will now be able to immerse themselves even more deeply in Namibia’s unparalleled natural beauty, culture and hospitality.

Sven Thieme, O&L Group Executive Chairman and Managing Director of O&L Leisure remarked: “Our vision has always been to share Namibia through our eyes – and to do so with authenticity, care, and passion. These new aircraft are an extension of that vision. They enable thoughtfully curated journeys that reveal the full richness of our country’s landscapes, cultures, and heritage. More than just a means of travel, they symbolise our commitment to crafting exceptional, transformative experiences for the discerning traveller. This investment reinforces our ambition to elevate the Namibian tourism offering to new heights and to help bring our Vision 2029 strategy to life.”
With the skies now seamlessly connecting to Namibia’s most remarkable destinations, O&L Leisure invites guests to embark on journeys defined by discovery, comfort and wonder – experiencing the true spirit of Namibia from the moment they arrive.
