Vacancy Details

Employer: Safari Stays

    About the Company

    We are a growing safari accommodation business operating across southern Africa, connecting travellers with exceptional lodge experiences. As we expand our lodge network across Namibia and South Africa, we're looking for a driven, well-spoken individual to help us build and grow our partnerships across the region.

    The Role

    This is a front-line outreach and business development role. You'll be the first point of contact between our business and lodges across southern Africa, identifying opportunities, making contact, and building lasting relationships. For the right person, this role has a clear growth path into a Lodge Partnerships Manager position.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Proactively identify and research lodge and accommodation partners across Namibia, South Africa, and the broader region
    • Conduct outbound outreach via email and phone to introduce the business and explore partnership opportunities
    • Build and maintain a pipeline of lodge contacts and track progress using CRM tools
    • Follow up consistently and professionally to convert prospects into active partners
    • Represent the brand with confidence, warmth, and professionalism in all communications
    • Collaborate with the team to refine outreach messaging and strategy

    What We're Looking For

    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills — you must be well-spoken and persuasive
    • A self-starter mentality with a hunger to hit targets and grow
    • Experience in the travel, hospitality, or tourism industry is a strong advantage
    • An existing network of lodge or hospitality contacts across southern Africa is a significant plus
    • Comfortable with cold outreach via email and phone, and resilient in the face of rejection
    • Organised, reliable, and able to work independently

    What's on Offer

     

    • A foot in the door with a growing safari brand
    • Clear career progression toward a Lodge Partnerships Manager role
    • The opportunity to work in an exciting, travel-focused industry

Required Skills

  • Sales: 1 to 2 years
  • Excel: 1 to 2 years
  • Business Dev.: 1 to 2 years

Candidate Requirements

    Experience

    • Minimum 2 years' working experience in the travel, tourism, hospitality, or safari industry — this is non-negotiable
    • Proven track record in a sales, business development, or client-facing outreach role
    • Experience conducting cold outreach via email and phone
    • An existing network of lodge, hotel, or hospitality industry contacts is a strong advantage

    Skills

    • Excellent verbal communication — you will be making direct calls to lodge managers and decision-makers, so a confident, professional phone manner is essential
    • Strong written communication — capable of crafting clear, compelling outreach emails without supervision
    • Comfortable working independently and managing your own pipeline and follow-ups
    • Basic computer literacy — email, spreadsheets, and ideally a CRM tool

    Personal Attributes

    • Hungry and target-driven — you need to want to sell, not just go through the motions
    • Resilient — cold outreach involves rejection, and you need to bounce back quickly
    • Self-motivated with the discipline to work without being micromanaged
    • Professional and well-presented in all communications
    • Passionate about the safari and travel industry

    Qualifications

     

    • A relevant qualification is advantageous but not required — demonstrated experience and results matter more
