Uganda Wildlife Authority Filming Contract

Uganda Wildlife Authority Filming Contract for Filming in Uganda National Parks

Embarking on a filming expedition in Uganda’s pristine National Parks demands adherence to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) Filming Contract. This contract serves as a memorandum of understanding between film crews and the UWA, outlining the terms and conditions for filming within these biodiverse sanctuaries. Trek Africa Expeditions facilitates this process, leveraging our longstanding and amicable relationship with the UWA’s marketing department, the entity overseeing the processing of filming contracts.

For film companies eager to capture the natural splendors of Uganda’s ten National Parks, initiating the process involves drafting a formal letter addressed to the Uganda Wildlife Authority. This letter should express the film company’s intentions, provide an overview of the company, detail the specific focus of the film, and elucidate how the documentary will contribute to the promotion of Ugandan tourism.

The film company must communicate the proposed filming dates and the anticipated duration of their stay in the selected National Park. This information allows the UWA to calculate the applicable daily filming fees. Once these logistics are ironed out, the Uganda Wildlife Authority requires passport copies of each crew member, along with details regarding their roles within the crew.

Trek Africa Expeditions takes charge of transmitting these essential details to the UWA. Subsequently, the UWA formulates a Memorandum of Understanding or a Filming Contract, accompanied by a corresponding quote. We share this quote with you, facilitating the payment process. To streamline the administrative aspects, an authorization letter empowering Trek Africa Expeditions to sign and collect the Memorandum of Understanding or Filming Contract on your behalf is requested.

Uganda Wildlife Authority oversees the management of the country’s ten National Parks, each a unique ecosystem teeming with diverse flora and fauna. These parks include Mountain Elgon National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Semliki National Park, Mountain Rwenzori National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park. The filming contract ensures a harmonious collaboration, fostering responsible and sustainable filmmaking practices in these invaluable natural habitats.
