In March 2007, IFA Hotels & Resorts entered the Nambian hospitality market through a joint venture agreement with the Ohlthaver & List group of companies, the leading private sector group in Namibia. The agreement will see IFA Hotels & Resorts work with Ohlthaver & List to re-develop three hotels currently branded and operated within the Namib Sun Portfolio and a fourth hotel to be developed in Windhoek.

The initial properties falling under the joint venture include The Strand Hotel, King’s Den Lodge and Mokuti Lodge. In addition to bringing luxury hotel operator Kempinski Hotels in to manage the properties, IFA Hotels & Resorts will also assess the potential for residential and retail opportunities surrounding these properties, with a view to integrating them to the adjoining hotel properties.

The Strand Hotel in Swakopmund is a medium-sized hotel with beach and garden views located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The King’s Den Lodge is on the banks of the Chobe River in the North Eastern Caprivi strip, with access from Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. The King’s Den Lodge is uniquely appointed with panoramic views of the Chobe River and each chalet is custom built. The Mokuti Lodge, situated on the gateway of the world renowned Etosha Park, is famous for its spectacular game viewing, superb conference facilitates and luxurious private chalets with all amenities.
