Welcome to Sol Collection!

Sol Collection is a small travel and hospitality company created by Friedrich Setzkorn and Olivia Haynie Lara. We plan slower, more adventurous journeys with a close connection to the land and to the people who know it best.

We started Sol Collection to share the places we love in the same way we like to travel: slowly, curiously, and with plenty of adventure.

Friedrich Setzkorn

Friedrich is a Namibian guide with deep knowledge of the country’s landscapes, wildlife, climbing, and local communities.  He brings calm, practical experience to every journey and makes people feel at home quickly.

Olivia Haynie Lara

Olivia is an American architect and pilot with a fascination for remote cultures and landscapes. She shapes each journey around the details that matter: where you stay, how you move through a place, and whether the experience gives something back to the people and landscape around it.
