What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can own end-to-end safari or hospitality operations, align logistics, cost control, and compliance, and lead teams to deliver consistently exceptional guest experiences in the field.

I’m a results-driven safari operations and hospitality professional with 6+ years managing end-to-end tourism operations across Northern Tanzania. I focus on operational planning and field execution that consistently protects guest satisfaction—even in remote environments.

As an Operations Manager at Timba Adventure Safaris (Feb 2025–Present), I lead planning and execution of 5–10 multi-day safaris monthly across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. I coordinate field logistics (vehicles, guides, accommodations, park permits, schedules), manage supplier networks, and oversee cost planning and pricing to maintain profitability and competitiveness while ensuring full compliance with park regulations and operational standards.

My background also strengthens guest-facing leadership: I’ve managed premium front-office operations as a Senior Receptionist and supported service quality and problem resolution in Guest Relations / Assistant Manager roles. I bring strong risk management, problem solving, and stakeholder coordination with park authorities and service providers, with a continuous improvement mindset.
