With the UK withdrawing working holiday visas for South African job seekers, it is important to know that there are still many overseas and international job opportunities for hospitality, hotel and retail qualified candidates.
Many of the lodges in Africa are able to process work visas for South Africans, namely countries such as:

Botswana; Malawi; Mozambique; Uganda; Tanzania; Kenya; Nigeria; Swaziland; Sudan and Egypt.
When searching for lodge jobs in Africa, employers will more than likely require you to have a tertiary education in hotel management or a lodge qualification in order for them to process a work permit. Employers have to be able to prove that they cannot find local lodge staff to do the same job before employing South Africans. There are many South African colleges now offering specific lodge and game ranger courses which are well worth investing in. Many African countries also have a requirement that job seekers looking for management couple positions actually be married before being able to obtain work visas.

Retail Industry
The South African retail industry is also expanding rapidly into the rest of Africa with many of the large chain stores opening branches throughout the continent. Retail jobs in Africa for qualified and experienced retail staff are therefore also on the increase for job candidates seeking international experience.
As the rand has weakened against many of the world currencies in recent times, working in other African countries has become quite appealing financially especially countries who are paying in dollars. As most ex pat staff are given accommodation, flights and visa, it can be a lot easier to save when working abroad.
