In this comprehensive course, you'll have the unique opportunity to combine both the Environmental and Media program with our Wildlife Filmmaking experience, allowing you to explore diverse platforms and captivate the beauty of African wildlife.

Working alongside an environmental and media company that specializes in raising awareness for African-specific environmental issues, you'll engage with a variety of clients, such as broadcasters, corporations, NGOs, and media outlets. Gain invaluable practical experience in both land-based and underwater photography, allowing you to develop a versatile portfolio of authentic and captivating work.

Our professional photographers will guide you through the Garden Route, sharing their expertise and helping you produce stunning photographs of Africa's diverse wildlife and travel scenery. You may also have the opportunity to participate in client-based shoots, gaining real-world experience in creating marketing materials for advertising and social media campaigns.

In addition to photography, our comprehensive course includes training in setting up your own business, ensuring financial stability, writing business plans, and effective marketing strategies. We pride ourselves on our hands-on approach and practical training, as our experienced trainers work closely with you throughout the process.

For those looking to dive deeper into the world of wildlife filmmaking, our course also offers the opportunity to develop, film, and edit your own wildlife documentary in an African game reserve. You'll gain essential skills in various aspects of production, including camera operation, directing, producing, scriptwriting, and broadcasting, all while experiencing the unparalleled beauty of Africa's wildlife firsthand.

Our combined photography and filmmaking adventure runs over the course of 1 month, with the first and last weeks spent focusing on pre-production and post-production work. The remaining 9 days are dedicated to living on a reserve and filming your wildlife documentary.
