What are the responsibilities and job description for the Expedition Leaders (Worldwide) position at Natural Habitat Adventures?
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 India, Sri Lanka, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Our preference is to hire guides who are from the regions we travel to. If you reside in one of these locations, please indicate that in your cover letter—for example, "I am from India"—so we can quickly note this among the many inquiries we receive.
