01 · Careers

Guiding is a career in Tanzania, not a summer job, and we hire on that basis.

The roles in a safari company divide into guiding, camp and workshop, and office. All of them are skilled and most of them are seasonal in demand but year-round in employment if the company is run properly.

Current vacancies are To confirm. Speculative applications are read — send a CV to info@wildandmikesafari.com with the role you are interested in in the subject line.

02 · The roles

What we hire for

01

Safari guides

Formal guiding qualification, a clean licence, languages, and the temperament to spend a week with the same six people. Wildlife knowledge is the entry requirement, not the differentiator.

02

Mountain crew

Kilimanjaro guides, assistant guides, cooks and porters. Load limits and pay rates are regulated and we work to them.

03

Camp and kitchen

Camp managers, chefs, waiters and housekeeping, often on a rotation.

04

Workshop and logistics

Mechanics who can keep a Land Cruiser alive a long way from a parts shop are among the most valuable people in the company.

05

Office and planning

Itinerary planning, reservations and accounts. Written English and the patience to answer the same question kindly for the tenth time.
