/CONTEXT

Palanca Safaris designs exploration journeys through Angola, where breathtaking landscapes meet authentic encounters.

Their ambition: to let travelers discover a country long overlooked, in small groups, meeting local communities, far from the beaten path.

Our mission: to translate this promise of exploration into a complete brand identity, including a website, visual identity, and photo and video content.

/APPROACH

A premium digital identity built to match the ambition of one of Africa’s most exciting safari operators.

Web & Design

We built an immersive web experience. The site highlights the country's beauty with a clean design and fluid transitions, letting the imagery and stories take center stage.

Cinematic content production

Nomia explored both the northern and southern circuits. At the heart of their safaris, we produced three brand films to showcase the country and capture the incredible diversity of its landscapes and culture. Palanca uses these films to promote their tours to agencies worldwide.

/FAQ

Your questions, answered

I only need one service. Is it possible?

Of course. Each service operates independently. Many of our clients start with the website or the content, then add other services when they see the results. Learn more in our article "Digital strategy for travel agencies"

How does field content production work?

We send our videographers directly to your destinations. We handle all production logistics. Travel and accommodation costs are at your expense (or your clients'). Post-production is managed by our studio in Paris. Learn more in our article "Promotional video for travel agencies"
