- Experience using travel systems.

- Fluent English is required
- Additional languages such as German, Italian, Spanish, French, or Dutch are a plus
- Commercially aware — you understand margins, targets, and profitability
- High emotional intelligence — you can read people, understand what they want, and earn their trust quickly
- Culturally sensitive and comfortable working with clients from all over the world
- Extremely organised with strong attention to detail
- Able to work independently, including remotely
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Genuinely passionate about Africa, conservation, and creating memorable travel experiences
