An intimate luxury safari lodge in the Greater Kruger area is seeking a skilled and hands-on HEAD CHEF to lead its kitchen.

This is a small, high-end lodge operation under an internationally recognised hospitality group, so the right person needs to be comfortable running a tight kitchen where consistency and quality matter more than scale. You'll be cooking for a small number of guests, so this suits someone who thrives in an intimate setting rather than a large hotel brigade.

Core Criteria:

• Solid experience as a Head Chef or senior Sous Chef in a luxury lodge, hotel, or fine dining environment


• Strong grip on menu planning, food costing, and kitchen budgets


• Comfortable managing stock control, ordering, and kitchen admin


• Good leadership skills, able to run and train a small kitchen team


• High standards of hygiene and food safety


• Able to work well under pressure in a remote lodge setting
