What Is Production Support in Kenya?
Production support in Kenya covers all the practical, creative, and compliance services needed to film successfully across this visually stunning and well-established production hub.

African Fixer’s Production Support in Kenya
Kenya offers both accessible infrastructure and remote locations, making it an ideal choice for commercial, documentary, and scripted content. African Fixer’s production support in Kenya ensures your shoot is efficient, compliant, and creatively aligned with your vision.
1. Permits, Visas & Government Liaison
We secure location permits through the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) and liaise with regional authorities and conservancies. Our team helps fast-track press visas, drone clearances, and import documentation for camera gear or specialty equipment.
2. Equipment & Crew Logistics
Whether importing RED cameras or sourcing locally, we manage customs and rentals with reliable vendors. We assemble trusted Kenyan crew—including bilingual fixers, DITs, grips, art directors, and location managers—with full local contracting and payroll handled for you.
3. Location Scouting & Access
From the Maasai Mara to the urban energy of Nairobi, Kenya offers an extraordinary visual palette. We provide advance scouting, detailed location decks, cultural briefings, and access to protected areas and wildlife zones, with security and risk assessments as needed.
4. On-Set Coordination
We manage all set logistics, including talent management, road permits, basecamp setup, catering, and transport. We also facilitate remote video village streaming and on-set comms to ensure seamless direction from abroad if needed.
5. Multi-Country East Africa Support
African Fixer integrates production support in Kenya with Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and beyond—ideal for regional shoots or pan-African storylines.
Real-World Content Filmed in Kenya
While these productions were not handled directly by African Fixer, they showcase the scope and quality of work that has benefitted from professional production support in Kenya—the same standard we offer.
This global sci-fi series filmed several episodes in Nairobi, including high-action sequences in city streets and nightclubs. The production required extensive crowd coordination, stunt approvals, and local crew integration.
Filmed across Kibera and rural Kenya, this Oscar-winning drama required intensive location support, casting of non-actors, and close cooperation with local officials.
Footage from Kenya’s national parks was critical for this high-end wildlife series. Filming involved drone work, thermal cameras, and custom rigs, all within sensitive ecological zones.
