Job description

Being Africa’s leading luxury safari company is no easy feat.

BenefitsAt Rhino Africa, there’s a smorgasbord of added delights:

• You’ll get subsidized meals, coffees (and anything in between) from our own chefs and baristas at the Rhino Café
• You’ll work with staff from over 30 countries, supporting operations across English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets (check out some behind the scenes shots on our RhinoAfrica_Life Instagram page…)

• You will be a part of a thriving CSR initiative, fostering the growth of sustainable development programmes across Africa
• You’ll explore Africa: to share our majestic continent with the crash, we offer our Rhinos 20-30% off hotel rack rates with our 2000 African suppliers; up to 40% rebates on flights with Airlink; rebates on car rentals and up to 80% discount for family & friends at our own properties, including MannaBay and Silvan Safari Lodge!
