The world needs more Intrepid people:
At Intrepid, unforgettable trips start long before travellers arrive - they’re built by detail-driven people who understand the destination, move fast, and care deeply about getting things right. We’re looking for a Senior Reservations Assistant, Kenya to help make that happen.

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows the reservations process inside out, is confident working with booking systems, and enjoys juggling multiple bookings while keeping the detail spot-on. If you take pride in being organised, responsive and reliable - and you enjoy working as part of a close-knit team - this could be a great fit.



Some of the experience you’ll bring with you may include:

Solid experience in travel reservations within a tour operator or DMC environment

Strong regional and destination knowledge, ideally within Kenya or East Africa

Proven experience using reservations and ticketing systems

Confidence booking and confirming accommodation, transport and activities with suppliers

Strong written and spoken communication skills in English and a relevant local language
