SANHU is fully equipped to assist in the full facilitation of production crews in the Kruger National Park and its surrounding areas

ARD / BAYERISCHER RUNDFUNK - GERMAN TELEVISION

2011
- This year SANHU is involved in the production of three films for German Television Channel ARD with Producer Director Christian Herrmann.

These documentaries follow three of Kruger’s giants - ‘Big Tuskers’, ‘Iconic Baobabs’ and ‘Southern Ground Hornbills’.  In April we started to film ‘Big Tuskers’ in the Kruger National Park with vet and author Dr Johan Marais and ‘Baobabs’ with SANParks botanist Michele Hofmeyr. We also accompanied Johan as he vasectomised three elephant bulls and there is still a lot more to come when we film Southern Ground Hornbills with EWT Project Coordinator Scott Ronaldson.  

2010 - Cheetahs of the Kgalagadi: SANHU filmed and facilitated this incredible production, Produced and Directed by Christian Herrmann for ARD German Television. It was filmed in the Kgalagadi National Park, following scientists Gus Mill’s cheetah research project.

2009 - Gorongoza National Park - Mozambique: SANHU accompanied the German Television crew as the second camera unit on this elaborate production, produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) for ARD German Television. It was filmed over four weeks in May 2009 in the beautiful Gorongoza National Park in Northern Mozambique.

TIGRESS PRODUCTIONS

In May 2010 we facilitated the UK production company Tigress, who produced a one-hour documentary for the National Geographic series “Nature Shocks”. This time we set up camp in the Olifants River Gorge and Massingir Dam in Mozambique where the crew filmed Kruger Park’s vets and scientists as another dramatic chapter of the crocodile deaths saga unfolded.

CBBC - SAFARI 8

Following the success of Outback 8, which was viewed by 1.5 million viewers and became one of the most popular BBC children’s programs, the BBC commissioned a second series, Safari 8, which was filmed in the Kruger National Park.

The series followed four British and four South African children, between the ages of 12 and 14, who spend a month training to become ‘Rookie Rangers’ in the African bush.

SANHU facilitated the 30-strong cast & crew, filming the 13-part series during October 2009.
