Ultimate Safaris Namibia Job Vacancies
WE ARE…
Founded in 2008, Ultimate Safaris specializes in well-orchestrated privately guided naturalist safaris for individuals as well as for small and intimate groups and we boast one of the most experienced, creative and respected ‘tribes’ in the Namibian safari industry. We are considered to be amongst the leading authorities on travel to Namibia, often pioneering new ways in which to experience the country, and we ensure exceptional leadership and a real connection to the people and places we take guests to visit. Our driving force is a carefully selected tribe of experts who are passionate about all aspects of Namibia and who understand the importance of seamless guest services. It is this that allows us to ensure that our trade partners are best placed to offer truly memorable safaris to their guests in one of the most awe-inspiring countries on earth.
We employ the best naturalist guides and Journeysmiths, all of whom live and work in Namibia; we offer the finest portfolio of lodges, hotels and camps (including our own); and we run a state-of-the-art fleet of specialized safari vehicles. This means we can guarantee an unequalled level of personal attention and we can maintain the highest standards when planning and organizing Namibian safaris. From initial enquiries to the final touches, our tribe is committed to bringing together all the elements that create the life enriching journeys we offer.
We consider ourselves to be at the cutting edge, and often well ahead of the game, when it comes to specialized safaris. We invest heavily in continuous exploration of new safari possibilities, and this makes us one of the most progressive and forward looking safari companies in the country.

As one of Namibia’s fastest growing safari operations, we are constantly looking for new talent. Our commitment to deliver truly life-enriching journeys means that we have a continual need for people with the right personality who have passion, innovation, energy, and attention to detail.

We have already drawn together what we believe to be one of the strongest tribes in the Namibian tourism sector, and we strive to create a caring work place which enriches the lives of our tribe members, and also ensures we have some fun. We embrace cultural and ethnic diversity, and we are proud to have representatives from just about every major ethnic group in Namibia.
Whilst we place very high expectations on our tribe, we believe that it is also important to look after those who are part of it as that in turn ensures that both our guests and our reputation are properly looked after. Here are some of the reasons we think you might want to join us:
