Safari Supervisor

Guests once again have the ability to drive their own personal vehicle through the 350-acre safari, with over 1,200 animals from 70 different species in an open-air military vehicle.  They can see animals that are playing, giving birth, growing up, and even animals that are extinct in the wild. They will never make the same trip twice!  Guests experience a once-in-a-lifetime memory, and you can too by joining the Six Flags Great Adventure Safari Team as a Seasonal Safari Supervisor.  Responsibilities include overseeing aspects of the drive-thru experience, including daily operation, knowing how to operate the gates, who each animal is, maintaining records of staff progression, running lunch breaks, assisting guests and communicating with safari wardens.
