Photographer hiding in bush

Filming/Photography

Passionate about production… concerned about conservation.  

 

Situated at the heart of a wildlife reserve and animal sanctuary, Naankuse Films not only provides the best of animal action, but also the logistical support your Namibian production demands.   

Naankuse Films has access to exclusive reserves throughout Namibia, all managed in a conservation capacity by the Naankuse Foundation. It’s all about location, location, location – and we have some of the world’s best at our fingertips. 

 

World-class locations aside, our team of animal wranglers are Namibia’s finest. Those animals removed from conflict and hand-raised at the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary make for ideal animal actors. A sprinting cheetah? No problem. The awe-inspiring leap of a caracal? Couldn’t be easier. The mighty magnificence of the king of beasts? We’ve got that too. 

Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary

A spot of bushveld paradise with an animal sanctuary at its heart. There’s no better place to achieve close-up shots with that ‘wow’ factor. Our habituated sanctuary animals light up the small screen… and the big.

33,500 hectares of prime conservation territory. This place of second chances teems with wildlife including African wild dogs, desert-adapted lions, elephants and rhinos. 

Neuras Wine and Wildlife Estate

14,500 hectares of rugged terrain amidst a desert oasis. Lush vineyards and natural freshwater fountains paint the perfect backdrop for a production filled with African flair. 

​

Harnas Wildlife
Sanctuary

Wildlife galore AND the ancient world of the San. A place reminiscent of ‘I Dreamed of Africa’.

​

​

Kanaan Desert Retreat

35,000 hectares of pristine desert landscapes. This iconic location is a photographer's paradise with night skies to rival the world's best.
