“An excellent and inspiring team to work with, from conception to a world-class final product. Running a production during operational hours of the company is tricky but Rusty Mokoro managed to fit in well with operations yet compromised nothing on the end product quality. Each image and video portray a clear story and message, evoking strong emotions in the audience. While the team provide a clear style recommendation, they were equally willing to adjust to the client needs. I highly recommend Rusty Mokoro and have already booked to do further work with this excellent company."
Nick Ridden, Remote Africa Safaris.
