Foxes Safari Camps takes home two awards at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa

Posted on Tue June 10, 2025.

Hosted at Hotel Sky in Sandton, Johannesburg, two of our films won 2 awards at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa (ITFFA) on Friday, 6 June 2025. Over 450 films were submitted from around the world, which culminated in a red carpet event attended by over 200 people from the film, tourism, and conservation industries.

“Foxes Safari Camps are thrilled to have won a gold and a silver award for our films on Ruaha River Lodge and Lazy Lagoon Island Lodge, produced with Love Africa Marketing. Working together with the team to create the films was hard work, great fun and immensely rewarding. We are very pleased to use this opportunity to raise awareness of the Southern areas of Tanzania, with their beautiful sceneries, wildlife and people.” - Jane Fox, Head of Marketing and Sales

The winners were selected by a panel of 34 jury members, equally representing the film and digital creation industries and the tourism sector. The films were judged on seven key criteria: impact, subject matter, storytelling, creativity, style, sound, and goal effectiveness with scores out of 10 awarded to each entry.

Our award-winning Films:

GOLD Award

'Lazy Lagoon Island Lodge,' was awarded gold in the ‘Tourism Product/ Lodge’ category. This promotional short film profiles our island destination along the Swahili coastline. Lazy Lagoon, a gem in the Foxes portfolio, is a 9 kilometre private island and features 12 A-Frame, ensuite bandas (bungalows).

SILVER Award

‘Ruaha River Lodge', took home a silver award in the ‘Tourism Product/ Lodge’ category. It showcases Ruaha River Lodge within Ruaha, Tanzania’s second largest national park. We share the history and significance of the lodge for our family - the first one built in the national park and how truly remote this part of Tanzania is.
