Vacancies

All current vacancies at Wild Wings Safaris are posted here. We are a small, dynamic team with our head office based in George and a branch office in London, UK. Our office is a friendly place, and we work hard to keep it that way. The team is like our second family. We value hard work, honesty, and excellence. We do not tolerate office politics or gossip, we believe in a culture of open communication, mutual respect and support. We provide training but we also expect everyone to be self-motivated, hungry to learn and committed to ongoing learning and improvement. We build for the long term and would prefer to receive applications from serious, mature candidates who want to build a career with us for the long term. If you just need a short term job to fill a gap, this is not the right company for you.

Below are our current vacancies.

Minimum of 5 years relevant experience as inbound consultant is essential. We are looking for someone with first hand travel experience in Africa and personal destination knowledge of key travel destinations in southern and East Africa.

The senior tour consultant will be responsible for answering enquiries allocated to you; creating suitable itineraries and sending quotes or proposals to clients; making reservations and planning each trip to perfection; managing each booking from start to finish.

This is not an entry level position. Please do not apply unless you meet the requirements listed above and have strong destination knowledge.

We offer a competitive basic salary plus generous commission. Although earnings will take time to build up due to current low travel demand during the pandemic, and because commission is paid in the month of travel, earning potential is good.

Due to the volume of applications we are unable to get back individually to everyone who applies. If you do not hear back from us by the end of March, your application was not successful.
