More about Kim
Kim was fortunate to spend his early years growing up in the wilds of Africa: the Kruger National Park, South Africa, where his father was the Head Ranger.
Harry Wolhuter, Kim’s grandfather, the first ranger of the Kruger National Park is a something of a national legend having had to kill an adult male lion single handedly with a knife after it had pulled him from his horse while on patrol.
Having completed his basic education, Kim obtained a degree in Grassland Science and entered the wildlife arena managing a game farm in Botswana and later serving as Senior Warden of Mlawula Nature Reserve in Swaziland before taking up the camera.
It came by pure chance that renowned veteran filmmaker Richard Goss approached Kim about getting involved in wildlife filmmaking, “I had never before thought of this as a career and couldn’t imagine myself getting involved in such a celebrated occupation”, Kim confesses.
After working with Richard Goss for 6 years, Kim took up the camera as a fully-fledged Producer/Cameraman and created his own production company, going on to film and direct several highly-acclaimed pictures, including:
Black-Jack, High Stakes
Impala – Basic Instincts
Stalking Leopards
Tjololo – Tracking an African Leopard
