Job description

Over the last 13 years, Rhino Africa has been repeatedly recognized as “Africa’s leading luxury safari company”. To ensure exclusive access for our tour operations and to become involved in one more step of our clients’ experiences, in 2010 Rhino Africa launched a specialized property division.
