Join Our Tribe
As one of Namibia’s fastest growing safari operations, we are constantly looking for new talent. Our commitment to deliver truly life-enriching journeys means that we have a continual need for people with the right personality who have passion, innovation, energy, and attention to detail. Whether you are new to tourism or you have already earned your stripes, we will always try to find a place for able and enthusiastic people who are fluent in English, hard-working, reliable and who understand the needs of a service driven industry.
We have already drawn together what we believe to be one of the strongest tribes in the Namibian tourism sector, and we strive to create a caring work place which enriches the lives of our tribe members, and also ensures we have some fun. We embrace cultural and ethnic diversity, and we are proud to have representatives from just about every major ethnic group in Namibia.
Whilst we place very high expectations on our tribe, we believe that it is also important to look after those who are part of it as that in turn ensures that both our guests and our reputation are properly looked after. Here are some of the reasons we think you might want to join us:
Standard packages include
- Salaries that are well above average in the tourism industry.
- A contribution of two thirds of a standard medical aid policy.
- A matched contribution of 6% of salary towards a pension plan.
