Memoirs of a Real Crocodile Hunter

Memoirs of a Real Crocodile HunterTrue Tales of Man-Eaters, Dangerous Game, and Survival on Africa's Wild Rivers"Ian Bartlett is the real deal."- Julius Fortuna, Co-Founder, Double Rifle SocietyFor a decade, Ian Bartlett worked where Africa's rivers kill people.As a licensed professional crocodile hunter, Bartlett was called in when man-eating crocodiles terrorised villages along the rivers of southern Africa. These were not sport hunts. They were dangerous-game control operations, carried out at night, at close range, where a single mistake could mean death.This is a true hunting memoir, told by the man who did the work.Memoirs of a Real Crocodile Hunter is a first-hand account of crocodile hunting in Africa, drawing readers deep into the wild river systems of Malawi and the wider southern African region. Bartlett describes real encounters with problem crocodiles, human fatalities, and the responsibility carried by those tasked with stopping predators that have learned to hunt people.Unlike fictional thrillers or embellished safari stories, this book delivers authentic dangerous-game hunting, written with the calm authority of lived experience. Each chapter blends action with insight-showing how instinct, bushcraft, and courage are forged through years spent in the field.What sets this African adventure book apart is its honesty. As noted by the Double Rifle Society, Bartlett's storytelling has the rare authenticity of a true professional-placing him alongside the great African hunting writers such as Robert Ruark and Peter Hathaway Capstick.Beyond the hunts themselves, the book explores African river life, local knowledge, myth, and the communities who live daily with some of the world's most feared predators. With his trusted companions Tilly and Mfumu, Bartlett brings Africa's rivers, people, and dangers vividly to life."Real encounters-sharp, vivid, and unembellished."- Julius Fortuna, Double Rifle SocietyThis book is ideal for readers interested in: - True African adventure stories- Dangerous game hunting memoirs- Crocodile attacks and man-eaters- Safari history and professional hunters- African wildlife and river ecosystems- Real survival stories from AfricaIf you enjoy true stories of danger, authentic hunting memoirs, and African adventure non-fiction, Memoirs of a Real Crocodile Hunter belongs on your shelf.
