Good afternoon!! Wanted to see if y’all could point me in the right direction. I am looking to get my hunt filmed in South Africa. I will be hunting Lion, Buffalo, and Plainsgame with my son. As I will not be able to take my lion trophy home most likely I wanted to capture the hunt. Does anyone have recommendations?
 
I’d suggest asking your outfitter for a recommendation. Filming hunts has become a popular option and there are many qualified photographers. I assume SA has more of them than most countries. I think filming a hunt would really add a lot to the experience and keep the memories alive. Good luck!
 
I highly recommend Morgan Harris and his team. African Safari Films. They did my safari in 2021. Cameraman was Marcel Botha. Great work on filming and editing.
Check out there YouTube films.
 
Thank you both the feedback. Mark I’m going to look at Morgan Harris and African Safari Films.

Please, keep the recommendations coming.
 
Check with Andy Buchanan maybe also.
African Jack is one I see in YouTube. Also African Sun is on YouTube with good stuff.
If you want, I’ll come do it for you :Dead:

Hi @dtarin09

I highly recommend that you contact Melcom Van Staden of Melcom Van Staden Productions. In addition to being a personal friend for many years, Melcom is one of the most talented and innovative videographers I have had the pleasure to work with. If you do contact Melcom, be sure to mention that Dan with Limcroma recommended him to you! You can check out the volume of his work on his website and YouTube channel.
Here is s short Dangerous Game Promo clip that Melcom did for us a few years back..

 
Check out Hannes Pienaar Productions. They will film my upcoming hunt in at De Klerk Safari's. Good communications and fair rates.
 
Chris Esterhuizen of Jongosi Media Productions hands down the best. He films for my friend Steve Scott of “The Safari Hunter’s Journal” and for Razor Dobbs’ “Alive”.
Chris is a stellar guy and the perfect addition to camp and on safari!

Ask outfitter

Phillip, this PH runs a very small, family operation only doing 2-3 hunts per year as he has other revenue streams. He might know of 2-3 “local” guys that dabble in this type stuff. He’s probably out of the loop as far as bigger videoing operations.

derek, I’d be the camera man and you paying me. I wouldn’t be hunting well unless a 60” kudu walked out then you better be faster than me on the gun

I’ll let you have that 60” inch kudu as I already have mine Come on Joe be my camera man:) I’m sure you would pull the trigger as well more than a couple times!!
 
Thank y’all for all your recommendations. I decided to use iGala Productions to film our hunt. Excited to utilize Puren and his staff. Looking forward to sharing more with y’all on this experience.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
