Your role will combine consultative sales, relationship building, destination expertise and detailed itinerary execution . You will take clients from the initial enquiry and discovery conversation through to creating and coordinating a highly personalised safari experience, ensuring every detail reflects an exceptional standard of service. This is a remote, home-office-based opportunity for someone who works well independently, takes ownership, enjoys being part of a dynamic international team and genuinely cares about delivering world-class travel experiences. What We Are Looking For The successful candidate will ideally have: • A minimum of 4 years’ direct FIT safari sales experience • A proven track record selling bespoke luxury safari experiences • Excellent working knowledge of Southern and East Africa • Personal travel experience across key safari, wilderness and adventure destinations • Experience selling directly to international travellers • The ability to engage confidently with discerning, high-value clients • Strong commercial instincts and a proven ability to achieve sales targets • Experience creating and executing complex, tailor-made itineraries • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to outstanding service • Strong organisational and time-management skills • The ability to work independently with initiative, reliability and accountability • A warm, confident and engaging personality • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills • Strong general technology skills and confidence adopting new systems • Good Microsoft Office skills • Salesforce experience would be advantageous • An additional European language would be a strong advantage • Relevant travel or tourism qualifications would be beneficial, although not essential Who Will Thrive in This Role? You are someone who is: • Passionate about Africa, wildlife, adventure and meaningful travel • Naturally strong with people and relationship building • Commercially driven without losing the personal touch • Highly organised and structured • Calm under pressure • Comfortable working towards goals and sales targets • Proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused • Detail-driven and committed to getting things right • Excited by technology and open to new ways of working • Proud of delivering an exceptional client experience What Is On Offer? 💻 Remote working from anywhere in South Africa 💰 R750,000 – R900,000 total annual earnings, including commission 🌍 Exposure to an international client base 🦒 A specialist focus on bespoke luxury safari travel 🤝 The opportunity to join a dynamic international team 📈 Strong earning potential for a proven sales performer ✨ The chance to turn extraordinary travel dreams into reality Interested?
