- Explore diverse platforms and capture Africa's wildlife on camera, including land-based and underwater photography to build a versatile portfolio.
- Engage with clients such as broadcasters, corporations, NGOs, and media outlets; contribute to marketing materials for advertising and social media campaigns.
- Learn from professional photographers during a Garden Route exploration to produce stunning photographs of Africa's wildlife and travel scenery.
- Develop, film, and edit your own wildlife documentary in an African game reserve, gaining experience in camera operation, directing, producing, scriptwriting, and broadcasting.

- Understand the program structure: 4 weeks total, with the first and last weeks focused on pre-production and post-production, and a 9-day immersive on-reserve filming experience.
- Gain knowledge in setting up your own business, writing business plans, and effective marketing strategies.
Your journey in wildlife documentary filmmaking will be guided by a renowned environmental and media company that specializes in bringing attention to African environmental issues. The company collaborates with broadcasters, corporations, NGOs, and media outlets. You'll also have the chance to delve into underwater photography, broadening your skill set and creative potential.
Throughout your 4-week experience, you will develop, film, and edit your own wildlife documentary set in an African game reserve. By the end of the course, you will have created a 5-minute documentary film showcasing your abilities and kickstarting your career in wildlife filmmaking.
The program is structured with a balance of theoretical and practical learning, beginning and ending in Mossel Bay for pre-production and post-production work. The heart of the course is a 9-day immersive experience living on a reserve, where you will be fully engaged in capturing the wonders of the African wilderness on film. This hands-on experience provides the foundation to break into wildlife documentary filmmaking.
LogisticsYour home away from home will be a local guesthouse in Aalwyndal, offering views of the Outeniqua Mountains and the ocean, to immerse you in South Africa's natural beauty.
The guesthouse features 8 bedrooms and provides living areas, dining rooms, balconies, and work offices to support your time on the program.
