With a robust film industry and famously welcoming people, you will find what you need in South Africa. We have highly skilled crews and technical infrastructure that includes studios, gear rental facilities and post-production houses. Our diverse locations offer the world in one place from the winelands to the towering mountains, pristine beaches and dunes, sprawling cities and hundreds of architectural styles. Whether you need a high-end villa, a desert location or adrenaline-filled activities, we’ve got you covered.

The best time to shoot in South Africa depends on what you’re looking for and it’s possible to shoot year-round in various parts of South Africa. But generally: Cape Town and the Western Cape: Best in summer (November to March) for sunny, dry weather and long days. Johannesburg and the Highveld: Ideal in winter (May to August) for clear, dry days. Durban and KwaZulu-Natal: Great in winter (May to August) for warm, dry weather, although summers are hot and humid. The regional diversity between lush vegetation and sandy plains provides filmmakers with a range of options and backdrops. Each season offers unique advantages depending on your project’s needs!

In a nutshell: very. The weaker Rand (ZAR) against the USD / EURO / GBP makes local film shoots cost-effective for foreign productions budgeted in their own currencies. Even though travel costs are a factor for international crews to consider, South Africa's advantages make up for it. The country boasts a skilled workforce, solid infrastructure, and easy communication in English, all of which make us a strong contender for your shoot.

We can also help your production come to life in both Namibia and Botswana.
