Why film in Botswana?

Botswana is no doubt a success story both on the continent and across the world.  50 years have passed since Independence and the country has gone from strength to strength, regularly achieving the fastest growing economy in Africa. With a relatively small population and a huge commitment to its wildlife, Botswana is ideal for all sorts of productions; ranging from true wildlife documentaries to presenter driven travel programs. The habitats, environments and wildlife are opportunities are endless.
​
Botswana is also open and welcoming to tourists, business travellers and film makers alike. The country and its people are incredibly proud and relish any opportunity to have their country showcased on the international stage.

With around 40% of the country's land under wildlife, it supports the largest Elephant population left in Africa, the largest continuous Lion population and the largest population of the critically endangered African Wild Dog.
The Okavango Delta - listed as the one thousandth World Heritage listed place on Earth, is the largest intact eco system in Southern Africa.
