I visited this place when I was traveling all around Africa solo (but with my Rhodesian Ridgeback) in my Land Rover in 2014. Here's an extract from my book:

'Percy Cross McGregor (a.k.a Moose), the iconic pastry chef of the Namib Desert, is dead, but Solitaire isn’t. Tour groups come and go. The character of the old fuel station, in the middle of nowhere, is perhaps best kept alive by the wrecks of the classic cars.
Moose put the small settlement of Solitaire on the map, by providing his world-famous German apple crumble (Apfelstrudel) to weary travellers filling up their fuel tanks.'
