Procurement Officer at Asilia Africa,  Arusha – June 2026

JOB DESCRIPTION:  Procurement Officer

Introduction & Job Summary

We are a company built by passionate people with long-standing roots in the original family-run safari companies of East Africa, such as Ker and Downey, which originated in 1946, Rekero Camp in 1986 and Olivers Camp in 1992. With a pioneering eye, our founders, many of whom are still involved today, combined their safari experience, passion, and commitment to East Africa, and in 2004, formed Asilia Africa.  They knew that their diverse characters and family spirit could bring real change to East Africa in a meaningful way, which lead them to choose the name Asilia – Swahili for ‘genuine’ or ‘authentic’. Although we are keen and committed to preserving the authentic, family-run East African safari experience, we understand that operational stability and scale are essential in realising our vision of making a substantive, lasting positive impact.

Following on from our founders’ original vision, our core values of family spirit, teamwork, and dedication to service underpin all that we do. We offer guests a genuine African safari through rich, meaningful and immersive wildlife experiences. As new opportunities emerge, we continue to evolve but will always be rooted in one fundamental principle: to offer genuine safaris that make a genuine difference and empower the crucial wilderness areas in East Africa to thrive, benefiting people and nature alike.
