Oberholzer was born on a small farm outside Pretoria, South Africa. He studied graphic design at Stellenbosch University (South Africa) in the late 1960s, and photography at the Bavarian State Institute of Photography in Munich, Germany, in the early 1970s. He returned to Germany in 1979 for his master's degree (Meister Brief) in photography. In between, he worked for Deutsche Condor Film, as a commercial photographer and as a lecturer at the Durban University of Technology from 1975 to 1983. He has published numerous popular wine table books documenting his exploits through the African interior.
Oberholzer worked as associate professor of photography in the Fine Art Department at Rhodes University. He retired in 2002 and still photographs and writes about southern Africa, producing quirky pictorial travel books. He is a member of the German Photo Agency Laif.
