The ideal candidate is someone who has worked as crew on an overland truck with a proven track record and knowledge of this region, communication and computer skills and a detailed understanding of the adventure travel business.
The position is demanding and would suit an independent self-starter who enjoys constant challenges and can make decisions that follow and develop company policy.

Similarly the Destination Manager must be able to manage their time effectively.
