Bookings & reservations manager who delivers tailored travel, transport operations, and high-volume booking excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Travel and tourism operations professional with 7+ years’ experience in bookings, reservations, and client-facing roles across East Africa and the Gulf. I specialize in managing high-volume bookings (200+ monthly), building and maintaining supplier networks (50+ relationships), and delivering tailored travel and transport solutions to a global client base of over 2,000 bookings.
In my most recent work as a Transport Operations Associate, I coordinate daily transport operations, ensure efficient scheduling and service delivery, and apply defensive driving and safety standards in line with RoSPA KDS certification. Earlier, as a Bookings & Reservations Manager, I led end-to-end booking operations across safari circuits, trained and supervised reservations staff, and standardized booking and client communication processes—while consistently supporting customer service, problem-solving, and cross-cultural communication.
