In a remarkable conservation milestone, ten critically endangered black rhinos were translocated from South Africa to Mozambique’s Zinave National Park. This historic operation marked the return of a species that had been absent from the region for over half a century. The entire journey—from darting and loading the rhinos to their cross-border transport and release—was filmed and edited by our team at Kaimara, a Pretoria-based company specialising in high-impact video filming and photography. As experienced video producers in South Africa, we were proud to capture the depth, complexity, and emotion of this mission with care and precision.
This project wasn’t just a wildlife story—it was a logistical and emotional journey, and it called for storytelling that was as detailed as it was moving. Our role as corporate videographers was critical in documenting the scale of the operation. With drone footage, close-up visuals, and immersive editing, we aimed to deliver a cinematic retelling of one of the most ambitious rewilding efforts seen in recent years. Every scene was carefully filmed to communicate not just the facts, but the urgency and hope behind the mission. Our video filming services offered a rare look behind the scenes, showing the tranquilisation process, health checks, high-security transfers, and the 48-hour journey to a new, protected home.

As one of the leading video producers in South Africa, we bring more than technical skill to the table—we bring a commitment to narrative vision. Our footage was crafted not only for documentation, but also to serve as a tool for advocacy, education, and global awareness. These videos are now being used by international conservation bodies, NGOs, and foundations to showcase the power of cross-border collaboration and what’s possible when conservation is taken seriously. For organisations seeking a corporate videographer who can deliver powerful, globally relevant stories, this project reflects what we strive for in every production.
The significance of this initiative goes far beyond what’s seen on screen. The reintroduction of black rhinos into Zinave helps restore ecological balance and promotes biodiversity across the landscape. Rhinos are a keystone species, and their presence contributes to healthier vegetation, better water systems, and greater stability across the food chain. Rewilded spaces like Zinave also contribute to long-term carbon storage, making this not only a conservation success but a meaningful step toward climate resilience. Through our lens, we aimed to show how environmental recovery, species protection, and sustainability are intricately connected.

What we created wasn’t just beautiful footage—it was a message. A message that large-scale, high-stakes conservation projects are possible when people, organisations, and nations come together. And it’s a reminder that strong, clear storytelling is vital for projects like these to gain the recognition and support they deserve. For NGOs, foundations, and corporate entities invested in environmental and social impact, working with video producers who understand both the technical and emotional aspects of storytelling can be a game-changer.
We’re based in Pretoria, South Africa, and travel regularly to work on projects throughout the country and beyond. Whether you’re planning a conservation campaign, a corporate social responsibility initiative, or an educational documentary, our video filming services are tailored to bring clarity, creativity, and impact to your message. We’re proud to be among the trusted video producers in South Africa, offering both polished production and meaningful storytelling for every client.
This rhino translocation was a triumph—not only for conservation but for the power of purposeful video. And as the rhinos settle into their new home in Mozambique, we hope that their story, captured through our eyes, continues to inspire action, awareness, and hope for years to come.You
