Head Guide
Kruger National Park

Solomon Ndlovu

Solomon was born at Othava, in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, right next to Singita Ebony and Singita Boulders.

Growing up in close proximity to these well-known reserves predisposed him to guiding, a goal he reached only after hard work and determination. He enrolled for his first course at Ekukhanyeni, Nelspruit, qualifying as a tracker and working at Ngala Private Game Reserve before being appointed as a guide at Shidule Game Reserve in 2007. When an opportunity to participate in a 6-week course at Singita Sabi Sands came along in 2010, he grabbed it with both hands and stayed on as tracker afterwards. Accepting a transfer to Singita Lebombo and Sweni lodges brought him closer to his initial goal of qualifying as a guide which he continued to study for until he reached it in 2014, vowing to hold onto his lifelong ambition forever and a day.
