We are looking for a passionate and experienced Jeep Safari Guide to lead adventurous tours through natural landscapes, wildlife reserves, and off-road terrains. As a Jeep Safari Guide, you will be responsible for ensuring the safety, education, and enjoyment of guests while providing informative and engaging commentary about the environment, wildlife, and local culture.

The ideal candidate will have a background in outdoor guiding, wildlife conservation, or tourism, and must be comfortable operating 4x4 vehicles in rugged conditions. You will be expected to plan routes, perform basic vehicle maintenance, and respond to emergencies in remote areas. A strong commitment to environmental sustainability and respect for local communities is essential.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include greeting guests, conducting safety briefings, navigating through safari routes, spotting and identifying wildlife, and answering questions about the ecosystem. You will also be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of the safari vehicle, reporting any mechanical issues, and ensuring compliance with park regulations and safety standards.
This is a physically demanding role that requires stamina, alertness, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. You must be able to work early mornings, weekends, and holidays, often in extreme weather conditions.
