Production Service in Lesotho
The Kingdom in the Sky
Lesotho is a high-altitude marvel, entirely landlocked by South Africa and defined by its status as the only country on Earth existing entirely above 1,000 meters. Filmmakers are captivated by its “Roof of Africa” aesthetic—sweeping alpine plateaus, snow-capped peaks in winter, and the dramatic Maletsunyane Falls, one of the world’s highest single-drop waterfalls. Its most singular feature is the Sani Pass, a hair-raising series of gravel switchbacks that provides a world-class backdrop for automotive and adventure content.
With virtually no local film infrastructure, Lesotho is a “rustic” territory where our South Africa-based team is indispensable. We treat Maseru as an extension of our Johannesburg operations, trucking in the specialized 4×4 vehicles, “A-list” camera packages, and heavy-grip equipment required to operate at 3,000 meters. By merging our technical muscle with local Basotho fixers, we manage the high-altitude safety protocols and ATA Carnet clearances, ensuring your production captures Lesotho’s raw, celestial beauty with absolute technical security.
