For the benefit of clarity and to allow planning for all parties involved, Africa Media Academy has made the difficult decision to suspended all experiential training programs in South Africa and Mozambique for 2020 due to Covid-19 and subsequent travel bans. We will continue to engage students on how to join our programs next year.
Whether you just have a desire to film Africa’s fascinating wildlife, or you are aiming for a career in the competitive world of wildlife film making, then this training program is for you. Our wildlife film making course is specifically designed to offer a practical introduction into the world of wildlife film making, and the work of camera operators, directors, producers, script-writers and the diverse positions required to produce and broadcast a successful wildlife documentary.
Come and make your own wildlife film making documentary, starting from concept and ending at TV screen, under the guidance and direction of passionate and experienced filmmakers. Revel in this unique environment and wildlife, and experience the highs, lows and challenges that wildlife film makers face daily when attempting to bring to life the wonders of nature.

Such an amazing experience and learned a lot in a short space of time on the film program. The team who run the program are fantastic and make sure that everything runs smoothly. A real privilege to get so close to the animals and learn so much about them. In addition to the actual course, it's a great opportunity to meet like minded people and experience South Africa.
I really enjoyed my program as a filmmaker in Africa Media. They are very professional and Kind people. Their team work hard to make you feel confident and to give you all the tools you need to be successful.
I joined the wildlife filmmaking program in 2018. At the start I was worried that it would be too advanced as I had never filmed wildlife before, although I had worked with cameras during my university studies. However, from start to finsih the instructors ensured tht I had full support. They work out who is good with cameras, who knows animals and then work with you individually on what you need to focus on. The time on Schotia game reserve was the best 9(...)
I had the best month of my life on the wildlife filmmaking course with Africa Media. We had access to great equipment and were taught how to use it. The 9 days spent on safari at Scotia were incredible. Some improvements could be made to WiFi/ housing facilities but we were able to go on some great activities in the local area!
My experience with Africa Media was the most amazing experience of a lifetime opportunity.It taught me how much filmmaking is alot of work.
I'll never forget that rhino moment deep down in the bushveld. Anyone with a passion for film and wildlife, get your monies together and spend a month in the bushveld
