My passion for Kenya began long ago, sparked by films like Out of Africa (I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it!), mesmerizing wildlife documentaries, and countless books about life in Kenya, the Serengeti, the Maasai Mara, and its incredible people.
For years, I dreamed of visiting. And finally, in February 2002, that dream became reality! My first trip to this breathtaking country was nothing short of magical. Seeing legendary landscapes, witnessing majestic wildlife in their natural habitat, and breathing in the crisp African air—it all felt surreal. For days, I was floating on air, unable to believe I was really there!
As a photographer, Kenya became my ultimate playground, and this website is the result of that adventure. I hope it inspires you, helps you discover something new, or deepens your own fascination with this remarkable country.
If this site ignites your curiosity even more—fantastic! Wishing you unforgettable safaris, and beware of the Africa Bug—once it bites, there's no going back! 😉
They say when you travel Africa, you leave a piece of yourself behind. In my case, it feels like Africa has become a part of me. 💛🐘🌍 - Siggi Hosenfeld
Kenyan-born and self-taught, Karim Kara is an independent filmmaker and photographer with a deep-rooted passion for nature and conservation. His love for wildlife began in his teenage years, leading him to study ornithology and later consult as an Ornithologist for Lafarge Ecosystems International.
At just 13, Karim picked up a camera, capturing Kenya’s breathtaking wildlife. Over time, his passion expanded into corporate and commercial photography and filmmaking, culminating in the creation of his own media company, Megapixels Productions.
Karim has produced numerous short films and teasers for various organizations, including a documentary on the African Fish Eagle, commissioned by The Peregrine Fund as part of a conservation funding appeal. He also collaborated with Colorado State University on a full-length anthropological documentary exploring Maasai perspectives on climate change.
Despite his commercial projects, Karim’s heart remains deeply connected to wildlife and conservation. Whenever possible, he retreats to the wilderness, where his favorite "models" await. Through his photography, he seeks to educate and raise awareness about the challenges facing Kenya’s wildlife—especially elephants, which are under increasing threat from habitat loss and human encroachment.
In 2012, his work earned Second Prize in the Climate Change Film Category in a global competition held by The World Bank. In addition to filmmaking, Karim is also an editor, sound engineer, and film producer, continuously using his craft to tell impactful stories about Kenya’s people, wildlife, and environment.
