Gavin Rennie
General Manager Sales and Marketing, Zambezi Cruise and Safaris
After retiring early from international cricket, I found my next passion in tourism—combining business and conservation through a leading safari camp in Hwange National Park. Over the past 20 years, I've built a fulfilling career in tourism, with sales at the core of everything I do.
I thrive in relationship-driven environments and have a strong track record of identifying opportunities, closing deals, and building long-term client partnerships across multiple industries. My sales strength lies not just in numbers, but in building trust, delivering value, and creating compelling offerings that resonate with diverse markets—from high-end safari clients to corporate partners and international investors.
My experience spans owning and managing businesses, working with some of Zimbabwe's most respected industry leaders, and leading teams through complex projects. I bring a commercial mindset to every challenge, backed by a strong work ethic and a hands-on approach to planning, negotiation, problem-solving, and execution.
Living and working in Zimbabwe has taught me to be adaptable, resilient, and resourceful. I've learned to think on my feet, find creative solutions in tough environments, and keep delivering results regardless of the economic climate. Over the years, I've built an extensive network of tourism business relationships across Zimbabwe, Africa, and beyond.
I'm passionate about growing businesses, leading teams, and most of all—selling with integrity and purpose.
