The Singita Community Culinary School (SCCS) at Singita Kruger National Park opened its doors in 2007 - offering young adults from neighbouring communities the opportunity to participate in a year-long, Singita-crafted, internationally recognised World Chef certification course.
The programme provides skills development, employment opportunities as well as developing a local talent pipeline for the hospitality sector.
Students are immersed in the state-of-the-art cooking studio at Singita Lebombo Lodge, which operates as a fully functioning practical and theory classroom. This is coupled with extensive, hands-on experience in the Singita lodge kitchens.
Thanks to guest donations to the SCCS Expansion Fund, the number of scholarships awarded in 2019 increased by 40%, in line with our goal of doubling our impact by 2025.Singita Community Culinary School
