Location Scouting in Kenya & East Africa
Kenya and East Africa offer one of the most visually extraordinary and geographically diverse filming environments on the planet. Within a single production, you can move from the glass towers of Nairobi's CBD to the red dust of the Maasai Mara, from the white-sand beaches of the Kenyan coast to the cool highland forests of Mount Kenya — often within hours of each other. Finding, accessing, and securing those locations is what ProKraft Africa does best.

Why ProKraft Africa for Location Scouting?
We know what international productions need. After more than a decade scouting for clients like NBC Universal, Al Jazeera, and Condé Nast, we understand the difference between a location that looks right and a location that works — logistically, legally, and creatively.
We have the relationships. Access to many of Kenya's most compelling filming locations requires established relationships with landowners, conservancy managers, local authorities, and community leaders. We have spent years building those relationships so your production does not have to start from zero.
We move quickly. International productions often work to tight pre-production timelines. We are set up to turn around location options fast — without cutting corners on the due diligence that protects your shoot.
How far in advance can you book location scouting?
For straightforward urban or accessible locations, a week is workable. For remote wilderness locations, conservancy access, or productions involving multiple regions, two to four weeks gives us the best scope to deliver genuine options rather than just what is available at short notice.
Can we scout locations outside Kenya?
Yes. We have experience scouting across Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo, Somalia and Ethiopia. For multi-country productions, we coordinate regional scouting through our network of trusted partners across East and Sub-Saharan Africa.
