  • Uphold ASG’s commitment to exceptional service, conservation values, and responsible travel.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, management, and support teams to ensure alignment and seamless customer experience

Requirements

  • Minimum 3–5 years’ experience in luxury travel, safari sales, or bespoke travel planning.
  • Strong, proven knowledge of Southern Africa destinations and lodge products, including:
    Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Eswatini & Lesotho.
  • Proven conversion results and revenue-generating capabilities.
  • Experience using Wetu, Tourplan, or similar CRM/itinerary systems.
  • Tertiary qualification in Travel & Tourism, Hospitality, Business, or Marketing is beneficial.
  • Fluency in English is essential; additional languages (German, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch) are an advantage.
  • Commercially minded with strong understanding of sales margins, conversion metrics, and profitability.
  • High EQ: able to read clients, understand motivations, and build instant trust with a global audience.
  • Culturally aware with the ability to navigate diverse personalities and communication styles.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and organisational ability.
  • Independent, proactive and self-driven, comfortable working remotely.
  • Calm under pressure, solutions-oriented, and adaptable.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Passionate about Africa, conservation, sustainability, and creating meaningful travel experiences.

Benefits

What We Offer

  • A competitive remuneration structure aligned with performance.
  • Opportunity to work with one of Africa’s leading luxury safari brands.
  • World-class training, resources, and operational support.
