Enjoy a delicious break on the sandy track
Solitaire, Namibia
Take a delicious break in Solitaire and try the bakery’s famous apple cake.
What you can experience here
Solitaire is a small settlement in the central Namib desert at the junction of roads C14 and C19. It’s well worth stopping here on the way to Sesriem or to Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
Solitaire is known for its bakery, which is famous for its apple cake – often described as “the best apple cake in Namibia”. It’s best if you find out for yourself whether that’s true. The bakery and the adjoining café are ideal for a break during the drive through the desert.
As well as the bakery there is also a petrol station. The settlement also has a certain charm thanks to the old car wrecks scattered around, which are very photogenic and form a kind of open-air museum.
Among the classic cars you can also watch Cape ground squirrels, which spend most of the day foraging for food.
