Africa, and South Africa in particular, offers incredible variety in location choices. From savannah to mountain ranges; desert to jungle; farmland to unspoilt wilderness. From third world to first and everywhere in between, we can source the perfect environment for all productions. Any type of location you need is already in our database. South Africa’s primary international airports, Cape Town International and Johannesburg’s OR Tambo can both be reached in approximately 10 to 14 hours from Europe and 18 to 20 hours from the US and Canada. The entire country falls within the time zone + 2 hours GMT.
Although there are eleven official languages, all business dealings can easily be conducted in English. South Africa lies in the southern hemisphere, so winters and summers are at opposite times to the north. South Africa enjoys a warm, dry climate with moderate rainfalls at the coastal areas.
