Explore the seamless process of obtaining media cards and filming permits in Uganda with Trek Africa Expeditions as your trusted partner. From assisting in media card processing to orchestrating press accreditation, we ensure a hassle-free experience for film crews looking to capture the beauty of Uganda.

Processing Media Cards in Uganda:

Discover the expertise of Trek Africa Expeditions in facilitating media card processing for film crew members eager to film or photograph in Uganda. Through our collaborative efforts with the Uganda Media Council, we expedite the preparation of your media cards within three working days. This essential step is mandatory for all film crews operating in Uganda, with the flexibility to obtain media cards for one month or more based on the project’s duration.

To initiate the media card process, we provide FORM G to each crew member, collecting necessary details. Once completed, FORM G is submitted to the Uganda Media Council for processing. Additionally, a letter describing your identity, objectives, and the developmental impact of your filming in Uganda is required. Trek Africa Expeditions handles the submission of this letter, ensuring compliance with all necessary formalities. Passport-size photographs of each crew member are also submitted to be affixed on the media cards.

Press Accreditation in Uganda:

Trek Africa Expeditions extends its expertise to organize press accreditation in Uganda for production and TV companies collaborating with us. In addition to media card processing, our comprehensive services cover accommodation, transport, filming contracts, permissions, and kit clearing services. Our goal is to secure press accreditation for film crew members, allowing them to conduct filming seamlessly during their stay in Uganda.

In collaboration with the Uganda Media Council, responsible for issuing media cards and press accreditation, we streamline the process for film crews. Upon contact, we dispatch FORM G to be completed by each crew member, serving as a prerequisite for press accreditation. The cost of press accreditation varies based on the intended duration of your shoot in Uganda. Informing us about your stay duration enables us to advise the Uganda Media Council accordingly, ensuring a smooth accreditation process.
