The Safari World of Robin Hurt | Professional Hunters




	Alick Roberts

Alick was born in Nairobi in 1943 and grew up on the family ranch on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Alick was schooled in Nyeri and Nairobi and undertook his National Service with the Kenya Regiment.

At an early age Alick developed an interest in wildlife from his father, who was a famous Professional Hunter - Boyce Roberts.

Alick soon was recognised as an outstanding marksman and has represented Kenya in international competitions in both Australia and England.

Alick was first licensed as a Professional Hunter in 1964 and, for the next 15 years, hunted extensively in both Kenya and Tanzania. In the late ‘70’s Alick joined Robin Hurt to hunt the Sudan and, in the mid ‘80’s, both he and Robin moved to Tanzania on a full time basis.

When not hunting, Alick has his own family photographic safari company and outfits and escorts luxury tented safaris throughout Kenya and Tanzania. Alick has a large and loyal client following, many of whom return each year.

Alick is a keen photographer and fisherman and, in his spare time still enjoys rifle target shooting. He can be found most weekends in the bush, bird shooting and collecting indigenous plants.

Alick is married to Dee and has two boys, Michael aged 21 and Bruce aged 19. Like their father, both boys are keen naturalists and are hoping to follow in his footsteps.
