The Real Crocodile Hunter - Ian Bartlett

Welcome to the wild side of storytelling!

I share my thrilling adventures and tales from the heart of Africa, where immense crocodiles reign and danger is a constant companion in the wild.

Listen to stories that Bite Back!

I spent ten years as a licensed crocodile hunter in Malawi, tracking the man-eaters that threatened riverside villages.

I am a seasoned professional crocodile hunter, adventurer, and storyteller with a lifetime of experience in the African wilderness. I developed a deep connection with nature and hunting from an early age. Over the years, I have honed my skills tracking dangerous game, from the cunning crocodiles of the Shire River to the formidable buffalo lurking in the bush. My stories blend adrenaline, humour, and raw survival, capturing the untamed spirit of the wild. Now, I have chronicled my adventures in Memoirs of a Real Crocodile Hunter, a book filled with thrilling encounters, hard-earned wisdom, and the untold realities of life as a hunter in Africa.
