Marine & Wildlife Filming

Morocco has 3,500 kilometres of coastline split between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. Essaouira and Agadir on the Atlantic offer dramatic surf, dolphin pods and rich coastal birdlife (Souss-Massa is an important migratory waypoint). Tangier and Al Hoceima on the Mediterranean offer calmer waters with reef life. We coordinate vessel access and Direction de la Marine Marchande permits along both coasts.

Morocco's iconic species include Barbary macaques (Africa's only macaque) in the Middle Atlas cedar forests, fennec foxes and addax in the Saharan dunes, dorcas gazelles in protected reserves, and golden eagles soaring over the High Atlas. Souss-Massa National Park is critical for the rare Northern Bald Ibis, and Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines host dolphins and migratory birds.

Yes, we work with experienced Moroccan wildlife cinematographers who know the Atlas Mountains, Sahara dunes and Atlantic coastlines intimately. Many have credits with international natural history broadcasters working on North African ecosystems.

Filming protected species and inside national parks like Toubkal and Souss-Massa requires authorisation from the CCM and local park administrators. Drone work additionally needs DACM authorisation (allow 21+ business days), and coastal filming requires municipal permits in addition to CCM authorisation. We coordinate everything in advance.

Yes, we offer professional underwater cinematography with RED, ARRI and Sony cameras in housings. Our divers are experienced in cooler Atlantic conditions around Essaouira and Agadir, and warmer Mediterranean shoots near Tangier and Al Hoceima.

Cooler months (October to April) are best for desert and Atlas mountain wildlife. Bird migration peaks in spring and autumn through Souss-Massa; Atlantic dolphin sightings are best in summer; and Barbary macaque activity in cedar forests is highest in autumn. Sahara fieldwork is generally avoided in peak summer due to extreme heat.
