Project Manager (Eco-Tourism Development)

Company Description

Sehudi Nature Park is an established eco-destination located just outside Gaborone, Botswana, currently undergoing a high-stakes evolution. Having successfully completed its initial operational phase, the park has paused regular public operations to break ground on a premium transformation.

Our next chapter sees Sehudi reimagined as an ultra-exclusive, boutique glamping destination. Merging the raw, untouched beauty of the Botswana landscape with a sophisticated "rugged luxury" aesthetic—inspired by world-class global design notes from Mykonos, Marrakech, and Soho House.

At our core, we believe that true luxury is sustainable. Built around principles of conservation, low-impact architecture, and active ecosystem restoration, Sehudi provides an intimate, restorative sanctuary for global travelers while empowering the local community. We are building a world-class destination from the ground up, and we are looking for ambitious, precise, and vision-driven professionals to help us execute this next phase.
