Solitaire Lodge Job Vacancies in Namibia

Solitaire Lodge

The tiny private town of Solitaire is the only stopping point between Sesriem and Walvis Bay. With the original Tsondab General Dealer, Dutch Reformed church, and Solitaire Petrol and Tyre Repair, it’s a snapshot into the past and a much-needed oasis when crossing the vast stretches of the Namib.

Made famous by Ton van der Lee’s best-selling book, Solitaire, it continues the tradition of hospitality and shelter, food, and fun. At the centre of the 45,000 acre Solitaire Land Trust, the town supports habitat restoration efforts and protects free-roaming native wildlife, including oryx, kudu, Hartmann’s mountain zebra, springbok, brown hyena, cheetah and leopard. With a well-maintained private airstrip and AvGas on prior arrangement.
