This unique experience offers a rare opportunity to observe wildlife through the eyes of one of Africa’s most dedicated wildlife storytellers.
Meet Kim Wolhuter
Kim Wolhuter is an award-winning wildlife filmmaker, TED keynote speaker and passionate conservationist whose remarkable connection with wild animals has shaped a lifetime of extraordinary storytelling. Raised in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, Kim grew up surrounded by wildlife, continuing a family legacy of conservation through his father, a head game ranger, and his grandfather, the park’s first game ranger.
With more than 34 years of filmmaking experience, Kim has created wildlife documentaries for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, earning numerous accolades, including several Emmy Awards.
Today, Kim lives with his wife and daughter on Sango Wildlife Conservancy in Zimbabwe, where he spends countless hours observing and filming animals in their natural environment. His remarkable bond with spotted hyenas provides a fascinating perspective on their behaviour, intelligence, maternal instincts and hunting abilities, challenging common misconceptions about these often misunderstood animals.
Kim’s family is also part of his storytelling journey, featured in Family in the Wild, a 32-part series documenting their lives alongside his work with spotted hyenas. For Kim, filmmaking is more than a career; it is a lifelong passion rooted in family heritage, conservation and an enduring respect for the natural world.
Sango Wildlife Conservancy – a conservation success story
Once a degraded, overgrazed cattle ranch, Sango Wildlife Conservancy has undergone a remarkable transformation through extensive conservation and wildlife reintroduction initiatives. The restoration of its natural ecosystems has helped create a thriving sanctuary for some of Africa’s most iconic species.
Covering approximately 60,000 hectares, Sango forms part of the 300,000-hectare Save Valley Conservancy, one of Africa’s largest private wildlife conservation areas. Its diverse wildlife includes black and white rhinos, buffalo, lions, leopards, giraffes and the endangered African wild dog.
Seven distinct vegetation zones create an extraordinary variety of habitats, ranging from open savannah and dense woodlands to lush riverine forests and dramatic rocky landscapes. With approximately 24 kilometres of the Save River forming its eastern boundary and elevated catchment areas towards the west, Sango offers exceptional biodiversity and spectacular scenery.
More than a safari destination, Sango represents the power of conservation, habitat restoration and a commitment to protecting Africa’s natural heritage.
An unforgettable photographic safari
This exclusive experience combines immersive wildlife encounters, expert photographic guidance and a deeper understanding of conservation. Accompany Kim into the African wilderness, observe the fascinating behaviour of spotted hyenas and gain a unique appreciation for the patience, skill and dedication required to capture extraordinary wildlife stories.
For wildlife photographers, nature enthusiasts and aspiring filmmakers, this is an opportunity to experience Africa beyond the ordinary and create lasting memories in one of Zimbabwe’s remarkable conservation landscapes.
