If we go by the crews of Mission Impossible and The Terminal List, the answer is a definite yes. Hoedspruit has become a favourite for film productions — crews appreciate the smooth logistics, and cast members enjoy the privacy and space to unwind after long days on set. Tom Cruise even landed his helicopter not far from Nomads Den.
One cast member from a major international production chose to stay at Nomads Den during the shoot — and didn’t regret it for a second. While most of the crew stayed closer to town, they were looking for something more private, without being too far from set. Nomads Den struck the perfect balance: just a short drive to the locations, but with a real sense of space and seclusion. “It felt like a proper break from set,” they shared. “I could rest, reset, and enjoy the bush in peace.” The team also arranged additional catering and daily service, making it a hassle-free stay with all the comforts of a high-end retreat.
For one crew member handling production logistics, Nomads Den became the ideal base. They needed stable power, fast internet, and a quiet place to stay connected with teams on- and off-site — all of which can be tricky to find in Hoedspruit. “It was the only place we found where the internet just worked — no delays, no dropouts,” they said. With loadshedding off the table thanks to the villa’s backup systems, it made planning and communication a breeze. “It let me get my job done properly, which made a big difference for the whole team.”
Nomads Den welcomes both cast and crew members working on productions in the Hoedspruit area. With reliable internet, backup power, and a high-end work setup, it’s an ideal base for staying productive. For cast, the villas offer complete privacy and can easily accommodate additional security measures if needed. We offer flexible catering and service options and are well-suited to support long-term stays during production.
