Kruger National Park, South Africa

SUMMARY:
A safari lodge in the Kruger National Park area, Mpumalanga, is looking for a PASTRY CHEF to join their kitchen team.

POSITION INFO:
This is a split-shift role suited to someone who thrives on early starts and doesn't mind a long day split across two service periods. You'll handle pastry production in the mornings and step into staff meal prep in the evenings, so versatility matters more than specialisation alone.

Proven experience in pastry work within a hospitality or lodge kitchen
Comfortable with early starts (from 04h00) and a split shift structure
Able to prepare simple, hearty staff meals in the evening
Reliable, self-sufficient, and able to work independently in a remote lodge setting

Core Responsibilities:

Prepare and present pastry items for guests each morning
Manage pastry section stock, ordering, and mise en place
Return in the evening to prepare staff dinner (pap and chicken or beef-style dishes)
Maintain hygiene and kitchen standards across both shifts
Coordinate with the head chef and kitchen team on daily requirements
