Join our Wildlife Film Course
Our mentors embody the philosophy that great wildlife filmmaking requires more than just technical knowledge. To create impactful stories, one must understand the natural world around them and the foundations of researching a story through to post-production. Renowned guest speakers from the wildlife documentary industry and our post-production partner will host workshops throughout the course.

Where we Are
Based within the Greater Kruger National Park, the Timbavati Game Reserve is home not only to the Big 5 wild animals but an abundance of fauna and flora. The closest town is Hoedspruit, a short flight from Johannesburg.
Even if you’re not sure about a career in wildlife filmmaking, this course is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, learn from experts, and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about animals, storytelling, or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure.
