All commercial filming projects done in Botswana require the issuing of a film permit from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. Once this permit has been granted any filming done in special locations such as game reserves, national parks and bushmen villages will require the issuing of a supplementary filming permit from the relevant department. ESA offers consultation and administrative support for the application of permits and provides a strong advantage for film crews as a Botswana based and registered company.
Location Scouting and Recce Runs
ESA offers excellent
advice on specific locations for shooting as the directors have many
years of wildlife research experience in the area. This
allows them to have insight to a host of remote and unique
locations. ESA also offer the service of carrying out recce runs
for crews or producers in order to investigate the feasibility of
particular shoots. A strong database of research results and
mapping data is available to assist with advice on locations. The directors also have strong links with fellow
researchers in the area and are capable of refering producers to them
as well as setting up interviews if required.
