{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Safari Camp Manager","description":"

We are recruiting on behalf of an established, family-owned hospitality group with properties across East Africa, which has recently opened a new luxury tented camp in the Serengeti.

\n\n

This is a Camp Manager appointment with full responsibility for the property. You will lead the camp's operation, guest experience and team in a completely remote setting, where planning, self-reliance and calm judgement matter as much as service standards.

\n\n

The camp is small, finely built and positioned at the top of the Tanzanian market. The group places particular weight on food and beverage across all its properties, and expects the same here.

\n\n

The Opportunity

\n\n

This is a permanent role at a new property, which means the systems, standards and team are still being built. It will suit an experienced bush manager who wants genuine ownership of a camp and the chance to shape it from the beginning.

\n\n

Accommodation and meals are provided on site.

\n\n

What You'll Be Responsible For

\n\n

Camp Operations

\n\n

Take overall charge of the camp's daily operation and standards.
Plan procurement weeks ahead, allowing for supply runs of one day in the dry season and several in the rains.
Oversee power, fuel, water and vehicles, working closely with the engineering lead.
Maintain medical preparedness and evacuation procedures.
Work alongside the finance lead on budgets, costs and reporting.

\n\n

Guest Experience and Food & Beverage

\n\n

Host well-travelled guests at dinner and around the fire, at the highest level of the market.
Set and maintain the food and beverage standard with the chef and F&B team.
Handle guest feedback personally and resolve issues on the spot.

\n\n

Team Leadership

\n\n

Lead the heads of department, including the chef, housekeeping and front office.
Build and develop a largely Tanzanian team, growing local staff into senior roles.
Report to the group's senior operations leadership in Tanzania.

\n\n

What We're Looking For

\n\n

Essential

\n\n

Proven experience running a remote camp or lodge in overall charge, not as a deputy.
Strong, hands-on food and beverage ability.
Confident guest presence at the very top of the market.
Competent and confident driving in bush conditions.
Experience inside a Tanzanian National Park is strongly preferred. Strong bush managers from elsewhere in East or Southern Africa, particularly with some time in Tanzania, will also be considered.

\n\n

Desirable

\n\n

Swahili.
French or Spanish.
Experience of opening a new property or building a team from the ground up.
A track record of developing local staff into head of department roles.
