Our experience and resources enable us to offer complete solutions for film crews wanting to work in Namibia. Whether this involves the provision of vehicles, staff, and equipment to set up fully serviced film base camps in the most remote areas, the scouting for that ultimate location, or just the facilitation of the necessary permits etc, we are very well placed to assist. We have worked with a wide variety of crews with dramatically differing requirements, ranging from vehicle and guide services for small crews of three or four, to large scale back up with specially modified trucks, aircraft, and helicopters for an IMAX style production.

Our 'filming CV' includes involvement with wildlife and cultural documentary productions over the last ten years, support for celebrities such as Ray Mears, Ian Wright, and Austin Stevens being filmed 'in the bush', as well as the provision of guide and support services for VIP visitors such as Executive Producers and sponsors of feature films. SandyAcre Safaris is a registered service provider for the BBC and some of its significant sub-contracted documentary makers, and we believe our record here speaks largely for itself.

Our main area of expertise remains the provision of fully serviced and equipped mobile 'base' camps which allow production staff to focus entirely on their film work without having to worry about comfort, safety, meals or drinks. We can also provide, or locate, specialist film making equipment and we always have heavy generic gear like generators, batteries, and battery chargers available so that it is not necessary for crews to bring these along with them. In addition, we can arrange for medical back-up on site, including the presence of a doctor if required. One of the main roles we play is in dealing with all the administrative and logistical issues which can otherwise be so time consuming when working several hundred kilometres from the nearest main supply base.

The main season for film making in Namibia seems to be generally between November and May when the country is warm, mainly green, and there are comparatively few tourists about. This dovetails very neatly with our other core business which is busiest between June and November, so there are rarely any problems over our ability to make the necessary resources available to film crews. Apart from anything else, our staff are always keen to be involved and to learn more about film making skills. As a result, we are always prepared to 'make a plan' to ensure that everything works as required.
