  • Stay up to date with East African destinations, new lodge openings, seasonal travel trends, and regulatory requirements
  • Achieve and exceed individual sales targets while contributing to overall team performance
    • Ensure accuracy and professionalism in all itineraries, communications, and CRM updates


Requirements
  • Proven experience as a luxury travel consultant, ideally with a strong focus on East Africa
  • In-depth knowledge of East African destinations, including lodges, camps, safari circuits, and exclusive experiences
  • Strong track record in direct-to-client luxury travel sales and itinerary design
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage high-net-worth clients
  • Strong organisational ability and attention to detail in managing complex itineraries
  • Ability to work independently while remaining aligned to a collaborative team environment
  • Passion for travel, wildlife, conservation, and delivering world-class client experiences
Advantageous
  • Proficiency in additional languages such as French, German, or Spanish
  • Experience using luxury travel systems such as Wetu, Tourplan, or similar CRM/itinerary platforms
    • Previous experience working with international high-end clientele in a sales-driven environment


Benefits
  • Competitive salary with performance-based commission structure
  • Direct exposure to luxury East African lodges and world-class travel experiences
  • Flexible working environment
  • Ongoing training, destination development, and access to industry events
  • Opportunity to travel and experience the destinations you sell firsthand
