Sunrise Australia - Filming on Makutsi
In early November we were fortunate to welcome the Sunrise Australia Weather Team to Makutsi! They were on a week-long trip through South Africa, and every evening would do a live broadcast to Australia (with the 11 hour time difference, the evening in SA was the next morning in Australia). The presenter, Sam Mac, would give a live weather broadcast every half hour (a total of 7 broadcasts), presenting the weather, as well as footage that was filmed during that day.
It was an absolute pleasure to see how well-oiled and professional this team was, and what they managed to put together in such a short time. For the live broadcasts, we decided to take Makutsi Tented Camp as our location, and we also invited all of our 60 guests at Makutsi to come over for a few drinks, watch part of the show, and enjoy this special experience.
We were very lucky to get some good footage on our afternoon drive, and the combination of this footage, the guests and staff around the fire, as well as the very funny Sam Mac, made for a great spectacle.
For those of you who have not seen the clips online, here are the links. Some interviews, some footage, always fun...well worth a look.
