Customs and Equipment
The customs process is one of the easier we’ve had to deal with in Africa, and it is mainly due to our connections in the DCPAF. If you need help with this, we are always happy to do the paperwork!
Access and Affordability
Access is tough, it is usually only the main roads that are cared for and paved, and it would help greatly to have a local to help navigate the country. The language spoken there is mainly French and English. As far affordability goes – Guinea is a cheap place to work in. The local currency is the Guinea Frank, which runs about 11752GNF to the euro.
Weather
Guinea is a tropical climate area with hot, humid temperatures and wet weather most of the winter (April to November) which is when the country becomes a green haven. The best time to film would be right after that, before the dry seasons (December to March).
