Full Time: Safari Specialist / Reservations Consultant
Bench Africa is seeking an experienced Safari Specialist to join our team in a full-time, permanent role. The position is primarily remote, with flexibility to work from anywhere in Australia, and the backing of a small, knowledgeable, and supportive team.
With over 57 years of expertise, Bench Africa is one of Australia’s longest-standing Africa travel specialists. We focus solely on travel to the African continent and pride ourselves on delivering thoughtful, individualised journeys. Our team has deep firsthand knowledge of the destinations we sell, and we value genuine service, attention to detail and a love of Africa. Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. We share our knowledge openly, support one another through the busy periods and recognise the individual strengths each person brings to the team.
We are looking for someone who wants to become part of that and build their future with Bench Africa.
As a Safari Specialist at Bench Africa, you will be at the forefront of bringing extraordinary African journeys to life. You’ll manage enquiries and bookings from start to finish, preparing quotes, offering detailed advice and creating personalised itineraries designed around each traveller’s needs, expectations and budget.
First-hand knowledge of Africa and proven experience selling tailor-made travel are essential, along with excellent communication and strong commercial awareness. The role requires exceptional organisation, close attention to detail and the ability to manage a high volume of complex enquiries while maintaining accuracy and service. You’ll also need to learn new systems and products quickly, take responsibility for continually developing your knowledge and work effectively from home while remaining closely connected to the wider team.
