Africa
Summer in January, while the rest of the world is in winter.
It is why Cape Town takes European and American productions from November to February: when the northern hemisphere shuts down, the light here is at its peak. Add Namib dunes, savannah and big game, the Sahara, the medinas of Marrakech and coastline on both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean — with the deepest crew and equipment base on the continent in the south.
Angola
Desert meeting the Atlantic, colonial Luanda, and a Portuguese-speaking market where a Brazilian crew works without an interpreter.
Botswana
The Okavango delta and the Kalahari, with low tourist density and genuinely remote locations.
Cape Verde
Volcanic islands and Atlantic light, with Portuguese as the working language and a short hop from both Europe and West Africa.
Egypt
Pyramids and the Nile, the Western Desert and the Red Sea. Heritage-site access is its own process and has to start early.
Ghana
Accra's growing production scene, coastal forts and rainforest, with English as the working language.
Kenya
Savannah and big game, the Rift Valley, and Nairobi as a working modern city. The reference for wildlife work in East Africa.
Mauritius
Volcanic peaks, sugarcane and turquoise water, with an established film incentive and easy logistics.
Morocco
Ouarzazate has doubled for the entire ancient world for decades. Sahara dunes, Atlas mountains, medinas and Atlantic coast, with large studio infrastructure and short flights from Europe.
Mozambique
Indian Ocean coastline, islands and Portuguese colonial architecture — and Portuguese as the working language.
Namibia
The Namib is the oldest desert on earth — dunes, gravel plains and the Skeleton Coast. Empty, dramatic and used constantly for automotive and fashion.
Nigeria
Lagos is the largest media market in Africa, with a deep local crew base and a scale of city you cannot fake.
Senegal
Dakar as the West African hub, with Atlantic coast, Sahel and a strong local music and fashion scene.
South Africa
The deepest crew and equipment base on the continent. Cape Town alone covers mountain, ocean, vineyard, desert and city, and the reversed season makes it the standard winter shoot for European and North American clients.
Tanzania
Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and the Zanzibar coast — the widest range of landscape in East Africa inside one country.
Tunisia
Sahara, salt flats, Roman ruins and Mediterranean coast within short drives, long used for period and science fiction.
Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls, granite kopjes and open bush, generally uncrowded by other productions.
