Although the cast and crew did head abroad, they mainly filmed in other locations serving as stand-ins. In fact, Our Girl was predominantly filmed in South Africa , which provided backdrops for scenes set in Afghanistan, Syria and Kenya. (Image: Publicity Picture)Other locations used for filming in South Africa included Cape Town , as well as the nearby wine region of Franschhoek which is renowned for its beautiful mountainous landscape. However, that's not to say there wasn't any filming carried out in the UK - and when the schedule has allowed, some Manchester scenes were actually shot in, well, Manchester. Other UK filming locations were used for season four, including Swansea in Wales, as well as East Ham in London.
