Why collaborate with Kalahari?
- Small-batch, flavour-first condiments Cook with a proudly South African range made to order: chilli crunch, hot sauces, chilli oils and jams.
- Your work, credited If we agree to feature your recipe or content on Kalahari Flavour, you're credited by name, with your agreed links.
- Real collaboration Work directly with the people who make the product, not a faceless agency.
- Clear terms first Every collaboration is agreed in writing before anything starts, so you always know what's expected.
Types of creator opportunities
- Recipe development Create original recipes that use Kalahari products.
- Food photography Shoot recipes and products in real kitchens and at real tables.
- Short-form video Reels, TikToks and Shorts that show the cook and the crunch.
- Braai and fire cooking Recipes and content built around the braai.
- Workshops and demos Cooking demos, tastings and classes, online or in person.
- Product feedback Honest tasting notes and ideas for new flavours.
These are the kinds of work we may offer. Not every opportunity is available at all times.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a big following?
No. Follower count is not the only criterion. We look at the quality of your cooking and content and how well it suits Kalahari.
Can I apply from outside South Africa?
You can apply, but we currently deliver only within South Africa, so most opportunities are for creators based here.
Will I get free products?
Not automatically. Any product seeding is agreed separately and in writing.
Is this paid?
Some opportunities may be paid. Any payment, fees or commission are agreed in writing before work starts. Applying or being accepted doesn't create a paid arrangement.
Who owns the content I create?
You do, unless we agree otherwise. How Kalahari may use your content, and for how long, is agreed separately before we use it.
When will I hear back?
We read every application, but we can't promise a reply by a set date. If there's a fit, we'll contact you by email.
What happens to my details?
Your application goes to the Kalahari team only. We use it to review your application, never publish it, and only add you to marketing emails if you ticked the optional box.
