When guests arrive at Mont Eco, they experience luxury suites, exciting game drives, incredible wildlife sightings, warm hospitality, and beautifully prepared meals. What many don’t see is the dedicated team working behind the scenes to make every part of that experience possible.
From reservations and guest communication to reserve operations, maintenance, marketing, finances, and conservation management, Mont Eco’s Admin & Management team helps keep the lodge and private game reserve running smoothly every day. Although every role is different, one thing remains the same - no two days are ever alike.
At Mont Eco, the Hospitality / Lodge Coordinator role was created to support every department across the lodge rather than focusing on a single area. The position has become one that helps keep daily operations running smoothly by stepping in wherever support is needed.
The role requires constant adaptability, balancing guest requests, administration, logistics, creative work, and operational support throughout the day. One of the biggest challenges is managing such a wide variety of responsibilities at once, but that is also what makes the role rewarding. Supporting multiple departments gives a unique perspective into just how much work goes into creating a seamless luxury safari experience.
As the first point of contact for many guests, the reservations department plays a major role in shaping the guest experience long before arrival. Every booking involves far more than reserving a room - it requires careful coordination between departments to ensure every detail is prepared in advance.
The role combines guest communication with planning, reporting, and problem-solving, often extending well beyond office hours. Despite the long days, helping guests plan what is often a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience makes the role incredibly rewarding and forms the very beginning of their Mont Eco journey.
At Mont Eco, the role of Operations Manager extends far beyond traditional lodge maintenance. Alongside overseeing infrastructure and daily operations, the role also involves helping manage a 6,750-hectare private game reserve and supporting the wildlife that lives on it.
From reserve upkeep to conservation responsibilities, much of the work happens quietly behind the scenes to ensure both guests and animals are cared for. The biggest challenge is the unpredictability of the role, as every day brings different priorities and unexpected situations. At the same time, working so closely with the reserve and its wildlife is also what makes the position so rewarding.
Managing a private game reserve is very different from managing a traditional hotel. At Mont Eco, the General Manager is involved not only in hospitality operations, finances, staffing, and guest experience, but also in conservation planning, reserve management, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability.
Unlike a city hotel, the reserve itself also needs constant management and decision-making. The role is highly hands-on, requiring adaptability and teamwork every day. One moment may involve reviewing budgets and reports, while the next could involve assisting guests, supporting staff, or helping solve operational challenges around the reserve.
What makes Mont Eco truly special is the close-knit nature of the team. Because the lodge is smaller and more personal, every staff member plays an important role in shaping the guest experience. That shared commitment and willingness to assist wherever needed is what allows Mont Eco to create the memorable experiences guests return for time and time again.
Much of the work behind the scenes is designed to remain exactly that - behind the scenes. Guests may never see the planning, coordination, and teamwork that goes into every stay, because the goal is for their experience to feel effortless from start to finish.
While the wildlife may be what first brings people to Mont Eco, it is often the people behind it all that make them want to return.
