Expedition Leader (Botswana)

Our Expedition Leaders are the best in the business. They are highly educated, passionate about the wild places they share with and interpret for our guests, and they exude an irrepressible enthusiasm that can’t help but inspire those who travel with them. As naturalists, biologists and environmental educators, their knowledge deeply enriches the experience of those who see the natural world through their eyes. While many of our guides have master’s or doctorate degrees, they are chosen for their good nature as well as their good grades. Many of our guests are veterans of global travel, sophisticated and independent, but they choose to travel with us because of our Expedition Leaders’ expertise. In the realm of nature adventure travel, great guides set us apart.

We are currently looking for guides to lead our trips in East Africa. Our preference is for guides who are from Botswana. 

Please apply for one location only. Choose the location you are most experienced in. If you are selected for an interview, your ability to guide in multiple regions will be discussed and assessed.
