Production support in Madagascar includes all creative, logistical, and compliance services required to film successfully on this extraordinary island.

African Fixer’s Production Support in Madagascar

Madagascar’s unique biodiversity, remote landscapes, and cultural richness make it an ideal destination for nature documentaries, adventure content, commercials, and narrative film. African Fixer’s production support in Madagascar helps unlock these assets with precision and care.

1. Permits, Visas & Environmental Compliance.
   We work with Madagascar’s Ministry of Communication and Culture to secure film permits and coordinate with national parks, marine reserves, and local authorities. We help navigate visa applications, drone permissions, and protected area access.
2. Equipment & Crew Logistics.
   We coordinate gear imports via Antananarivo and provide access to reliable local camera, grip, and lighting rentals. Our Malagasy crew network includes bilingual fixers, field producers, marine coordinators, and conservation liaisons.
3. Location Scouting & Access.
   From rainforests and deserts to coral reefs and highland villages, we scout and secure diverse locations. We offer location decks, regional insights, and logistical solutions for travel to remote areas by 4×4, boat, or charter flight.
4. On-Set Coordination.
   We handle all field logistics, from basecamp setup and catering to medical planning, boat transport, and satellite comms. Our team ensures safety and compliance in both rural and ecologically sensitive areas.
5. Regional Island Access.
   African Fixer integrates Madagascar support with surrounding island territories such as Mauritius, Comoros, Seychelles, and Réunion for extended or regional projects.

Real-World Content Filmed in Madagascar

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 Madagascar—the same standard we offer.

• BBC – Madagascar (2011)

This acclaimed wildlife documentary series focused on the island’s rare species and ecosystems. The production involved filming in remote rainforests and deserts, requiring permits from multiple conservation bodies and extensive logistical planning.

• The Jungle Book: Origins – Warner Bros.

Location scouting and research teams visited Madagascar as a potential site for jungle environments, noting the island’s unique flora and fauna. Though the final production used CGI, the island’s viability as a shooting location drew major attention.

• Wild Madagascar – PBS / Nature (2006)

Shot across several national parks, this film captured the country’s endangered wildlife with high-end camera traps, aerial footage, and coordination with local scientists and rangers.

Commercial Experience: African Fixer Across Africa

While our commercial portfolio in Egypt is currently growing, African Fixer brings a strong track record across the continent. Here are three notable projects we’ve supported:

• Cadbury’s Tom Tom – Nigeria
