Safari Management Couple

The role We need a practical, hands-on management couple to look after our two safari camps, reporting to our Director of Operations. There is a busy working environment that relies on customer experience and efficiency, so this role suits energetic, self-driven people who thrive in the bush.

Female role: Hospitality and Administration

• Manage the camps day to day, including the kitchen, guest service and stock.
• Manage the kitchen team
• Create and manage menus, place stock orders and handle all client dietary requirements and requests.
• Welcome guests and look after them throughout their safari.
• Keep rooms clean, welcoming and beautiful.
• Ensure the Professional Hunters (PHs) complete all required paperwork at the end of every safari.
• Handle general office administration.
• Essential: confident with Excel, Google Sheets and Google Drive, and strong stock management skills.
• Advantage: payroll and petty cash experience.

• Oversee conservation and community support projects.
• Oversee camp construction and upgrades, annual road grading, and the drilling of new boreholes.
