Kruger National Park, South Africa Cedar Wood Recruitment Full time

Cedar Wood Recruitment is now recruiting for a Trails Guide at a private "Big Five" game reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park. There are two world renowned lodges within the reserve which form part of an international portfolio of exclusive lodges. The area is an excellent place to observe buffalo, rhinoceros, elephant, lion and leopard. The lodge operations are highly professional providing efficient guest experiences within a fun-loving and outgoing atmosphere which is typical of the group. A hands-on approach is therefore expected of all team members.

Key Performance Areas

  • The Trails Guide's role, together with the Tracker, is to take guests on game drives and host them for their entire stay. This role also requires some coordination of the guests stay, ensuring that from arrival to departure they experience an original and memorable time in the African bush. This will include game drives, walks, observatory evenings etc. The Trails Guide plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of the guests at all times.
