Filming

Filming

• We can provide film crews with access to multiple groups of habituated meerkats which can be filmed at a range of a few feet.
• Accommodation, food and transport can also be arranged.

Previous Work

• We have contributed to a number of programmes in the past and many of the best known meerkat documentaries have been filmed at this site.
