    Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania, South Africa etc.

    We have a client who is looking for an exclusive villa to a new realityshow with a swimmingpool and a great oceanview.
    Minimum 6 rooms for the contestants, dining room, living room – and an indoor storage room for recording equipment and light.
    Away from the cast are we also need a room for studio control, sync room, plus production office.
    The production crew will also need accomodation nearby – approx. 50 people.

    Initially we need pics of houses and villas that would fit this profile.

    We need the location for at least 2 months.

    Hi Miko,

    We can help you with many locations in South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia.

    Dear Mike,

    Your reality show sounds great.
    Besides your need for a 6bedroom house and separate production office, please advise any other specific needs that would help define the best location suggestions we can offer you to accommodate the special nature of your shoot and duration, for example :
    – be near a major city ?
    – or be more isolated but within close range of a city?
    – preference for coastal or inland ?
    Do you need quotes and recommendations for equipment, or local crew ?
    Caterers ?
    Vehicles ?
    Security ? … etc .

    Please free to send us your full production requirements in addition to your location needs so that we may put together an effective and informative budget, location and accommodation proposal together for you to ensure a smooth shoot !

    Please contact :

    Hi Mike,

    The next 6 months is great timing for shooting a reality TV format in South Africa.
    It’s low season which makes it possible to make a excellent value for money offering for your production.

    I have seen the other posts from all my collegues here, you’re spoilt for choice :-)
    That’s a good start for your search, now the challenge will be to narrow it down.
    Everyone has its specialities and strong points.

    In this case I strongly feel we’re the best candidate for the job.

    I have more then 20 years experience in producing TV shows and have produced numerous reality TV shows for all major production companies and broadcasters in the Netherlands (Endemol, RTL, SBS, IDtv etc) before starting our production service company in Cape Town, Kaap Film, TV, Stills Production.

    In the past 8 years Kaap has facilitated many different TV productions in SA. From big scale multi million rand reality TV shows such as Hollands Next Top Model and Flashback to small shows, guerilla TV and ENG news shoots.

    We would be keen to assist you with this project and feel confident that we can deliver excellent value for you. If you like we can be in touch today still or tomorrow morning. After that I’ll be out of reception on a desert location but will be back in Cape Town next week.

    Look forward to chat, go over the project, your requirements and how we can be of best service to you. If you only need the Villa in this stage we can find it for you without doubt. I’m sure it will then give you peace of mind you can rely and fall back on a strong experienced TV production partner in case of need.

    Best regards,

    Hi Miko
    We received a request with quite similar requirements a couple of months ago so did a lot of research; we have re-checked the information and details of what was available and have put together a site for you. I will email it to you directly.
