Filming in Botswana
Botswana is no doubt a success story both on the African continent and across the world. More than 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 a variety of productions; ranging from true wildlife documentaries to presenter-driven travel programs. The environmental, wildlife and cultural opportunities are endless.
Botswana is 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 mass designated to wildlife, Botswana 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 UNESCO World Heritage Site, is part of the largest intact eco-system in Southern Africa.
