WORK WITH GREEN SAFARIS

At Green Safaris, we don’t just run lodges. We choreograph sunrises, protect elephants, and turn every guest into an unwitting conservationist. From Zambia’s mighty Zambezi to Malawi’s jewel-toned Lake Malawi, our team is the heartbeat of safaris that change lives for our guests, for our communities, and for the wild places we call home. 90% of our General Managers are employed in country.

Here, your “office” might be in the Lower Zambezi, a kitchen that smells of woodsmoke and wild basil, or a desk where the background noise is weaver birds in full gossip. Sound like your kind of workplace? Then welcome — we’ve been waiting for you.
