Questions
- How do I hire a drone pilot in Rwanda?
- Send a brief through this site and we match you with a licensed drone pilot for the date and location you need, in Kigali or anywhere else in Rwanda and East Africa.
- Are Lucky Filmz drone pilots licensed and insured?
- Yes. Every pilot in our directory flies under Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority authorisation and carries liability cover for commercial work.
- Can I licence existing aerial footage instead of booking a shoot?
- Yes. Our stock library holds 4K aerial and ground footage from across Rwanda and Africa, available under editorial, commercial, advertising and broadcast licences.
- What does drone filming in Rwanda cost?
- Half-day and full-day rates depend on location, permits and the deliverables you need. Send a brief and we quote against the shoot rather than a generic rate card.
- Do you film outside Rwanda?
- Yes. Lucky Filmz crews and drone pilots travel across East Africa and the wider continent for commissioned productions.
