About Us

Emerging from the landlocked country of Botswana, Southern Africa, Botswood Studios is the nation’s leading production company. In 2004, we made history as the first to broadcast a television drama internationally on M-Net. For over 21 years, we’ve been at the forefront of storytelling, specializing in content creation and distribution. With a portfolio of over 30 titles, we are also known for our strong collaborations with other African creators, continually shaping the entertainment landscape on a global scale

Botswood Studios was founded by Lawrence Lekolwane and his two time award winning wife Fenny Lekolwane. Married for 15 years, this powerhouse couple has combined their talents to build a company rooted in strategic thinking, innovation, quality, and a deep understanding of their audience. Together, they have developed original content with local flavor, designed to resonate across all markets.

Botswood Studios excels in a wide range of services, including television commissions, production facilitation, and developing content around brand marketing strategies. We draw upon our vast production experience and world-class network to create content that not only captures attention but also delivers measurable impact for clients and their audiences.

With a diverse team of professionals from every department of filmmaking, we produce content daily for multiple platforms and clients. Our capacity to handle productions of any size is evident in our track record. Botswana Television commissioned us to produce a series for three consecutive years, which has become the most-watched television show in Botswana, setting a new standard for quality in the country.

Our growing online presence, nearing 500,000 followers on our Botswood Facebook Page, further highlights the engagement and impact of our content. Audiences love what we do, and our success speaks volumes about our ability to create content that resonates.
