Excellent crews and equipment, diverse geography, low costs, state-of-the-art studios, good exchange rates and long days of sunshine combine to make it a popular choice for international producers. What’s more, South Africa’s very supportive government has introduced attractive incentive regimes for foreign producers.
In terms of locations Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban are the focal points, offering varied cityscapes and access to diverse geography within short distances. South Africa is also the best jumping-off point for neighbouring countries such as Namibia and Mozambique.
