Thinking of shooting in Africa?
Start Here.

Some of Africa’s strongest locations are still undiscovered - unless you know where to look.

One continent. 54 countries. Over 3,000 cultures. And some of the most visually epic landscapes in the world. Prepare to get Mal d’Africa. Africa remains one of the last bastions of truly untouched, adventurous, underexposed destinations. Culturally rich. Visually fresh. It’s original.

Africa is wildlife, gorillas in dense forests, Cape Town, the great wildebeest migration. The expected highlights are all here. But Africa is so much more. It’s Ekpe masquerades and ancient cities. Rock-hewn Ethiopian churches. The Renaissance statue. Ankara. Amapiano. Amakhosi 4 life. Vibrant megacities, red-carpet glitz and cultural ceremonies few outsiders ever witness.

If Africa serves your next story but you’re not sure where to begin, Werkmode would be honoured to guide you. As the African proverb goes: “You eat the elephant one bite at a time.” We’re here to support you, every step of the way.

What makes Africa under-discovered is also what makes it challenging in its own right. Its diversity and uneven infrastructure require thoughtful planning, local intelligence, and experienced on-the-ground support. At Werkmode, Plan A, B, and C are part of our modus operandi. This is our strength. We’re deeply embedded and adept at navigating nuance and guiding you through complexity toward well-managed shoots, working alongside your team to support streamer-aligned standards. And yes, you’ll likely come away with a few great stories for your next dinner party.

We are Africa-philes. We believe in championing Africa as a film destination. This belief is profoundly rooted in who we are.

Ready? Let’s get to werk! Here’s an at-a-glance snapshot of the regions Werkmode worked in and currently supports with film-fixing services.
