We are seeking an experienced East Africa Luxury Travel Consultant to join our growing team of specialists.

This is a client-facing, itinerary-driven role focused exclusively on B2C luxury travel sales and operations coordination. You will work directly with high-net-worth international clients to design and deliver exceptional East African safari experiences, while coordinating seamlessly with lodges, camps, and in-country partners.

This role is not B2B-focused and does not involve trade sales or wholesale contracting.

Success in this role is defined by the ability to convert high-value enquiries, design exceptional itineraries, and consistently deliver outstanding client experiences from enquiry through to post-travel follow-up.

Key Responsibilities
- Design and sell bespoke luxury safari itineraries across East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and surrounding regions)
- Engage directly with high-net-worth clients to understand their preferences, expectations, and travel motivations
- Manage the full client journey from initial enquiry through to booking confirmation and travel completion
- Coordinate closely with lodges, camps, and local partners to ensure flawless execution of itineraries
- Build and maintain strong, trust-based client relationships through exceptional communication and service delivery
- 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

- 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

- 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

Flights + hotels

This role requires you to be in South Africa. If that means relocating or flying in, it is worth checking fares before you commit to a start date.
