Empower your Nairobi video production with an expert crew
Filming corporate video has become a bold and ambitious undertaking, as companies have stepped up their production efforts. To compete in this demanding field, you should find a reliable location to base your video shoots.
In East Africa, you may find your perfect destination in Nairobi, Kenya.
The capital of Kenya is warm year round, allowing your crew to film at times when other locales are too cold or prohibitively hot. It combines a fully built-up downtown skyline with a renowned national park and numerous fascinating museums. The region is bustling, with 2 million residents, but thanks to its wildlife parks and arboretum, it’s also a perfect place to encounter Kenyan flora and fauna.
Basing your corporate video production in Nairobi and capturing Kenya on film is a way to make truly distinctive content.
There’s no single side of Kenya for you to film — the country is home to 48 distinct cultures, each with their own traditions and artistic histories. With the right camera crew on your side, you can begin documenting this richness as part of your corporate video strategy.
Make the most of Nairobi with expert video professionals
How do you start to navigate a city of 2 million if you’re new to the area? It pays to work with film professionals who are familiar with the region and ready to make recommendations.
When you choose Crews Control as your video production company, you’re matched with local experts that can help you film iconic locations and hidden-gem B-roll sites alike.
When operating in Nairobi, specialized knowledge can come in extremely handy. For instance, filming local fauna such as elephants, zebras, and giraffes inside one of the capital’s wildlife parks is best handled by professionals. Preferably, these experts will have already worked with these unique animals and be comfortable capturing them on film.
In addition to local expertise, Crews Control teams bring professional know-how. Creating visually stunning video content while using only in-house resources can be costly, as you have to add salaries and purchase your own gear.
Crews Control gives you this level of polish on demand.

Know the basics when filming in Nairobi
Every corporate video destination comes with its own unique sights and sounds. By working with an experienced team from Crews Control, you can turn these distinctive attractions into compelling elements of corporate videos.
In Nairobi, opportunities to create great content include:
- Numerous museums to explore: When you’re searching for a perfect piece of B-roll footage, museums are top destinations, and Nairobi is home to several. From the Kenyan Railroad Museum to the National Arboretum Museum and everything in between, you can find unique collections in the capital.
- A national park inside city limits: Kenya boasts several national parks where you can encounter distinct East African animals, including wildebeest and antelope. You don’t have to go far to find parkland, either: Nairobi is the only city in the world to have a national park inside its borders.
- Warm weather year round: Nairobi has average temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and 73 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. This uniform warmth allows your video crew to schedule your production based on other factors, safe in the knowledge that it will be warm enough to film outdoors.
- Traditions and urban bustle, side by side: Nairobi is home to cultural centers where you can connect with the literally dozens of distinct cultures active within Kenya. It’s also a major international city with a skyline worth capturing on film. Whether your production calls for history or modernity, Nairobi has a place for every need.
Once you and your Crews Control team have begun creating content in Nairobi, you’ll likely find yourself with enough inspiration to keep coming back in the future.

Prepared, Creative, Professional and on the 10 scale an 11
I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
