About Wild Locations | Film Production Support & Fixers in Hoedspruit

Wild Locations was founded when two seasoned industry professionals met on set and recognised a shared passion for Africa, its landscapes, its people, and the craft of filmmaking. Their combined experience, industry networks, and deep regional knowledge form the foundation of the company today.

Based in Hoedspruit at the gateway to the Greater Kruger region, Wild Locations has grown into one of the Lowveld’s leading production support and location scouting companies — trusted by international studios and local producers alike.
