Filming in Africa
has been dominated for several years by south Africa.
This has been because South Africa opened up earlier
than any other part in africa in terms of infrastructure
and tourism. The film, "Ghosts and The Darkness was shot
in south africa. Today, other parts of africa have been
opened up and Countries in north africa are becoming
more attractive in the developing of filming industries
in their countries, these include Egypt, Nigeria and
Niger.

not been left out in the industry of filming. With its

makers diaries yearly with several films being shot in
