The Safari World of Robin Hurt | Professional Hunters




	Gerard James Ambrose

Gerard was born in Tanzania in October 1947. He grew up and was educated in Tanzania, where his parents owned a large coffee farm in the Mbozi region of Southern Tanzania.

Much of his childhood was spent on safari in the bush. On leaving school, Gerard attended an Agricultural College in England before returning to Tanzania to work as the Coffee Manager on his parents’ farm.

Since 1972, Gerard has been in the safari business as a Professional Hunter and Photographic Guide. Gerard speaks fluent Swahili and is familiar with the people of Tanzania and its flora and Fauna. He is an extremely competent hunter and very knowledgeable in all aspects of wildlife and conservation.

The majority of Gerard’s hunting experience has been gained in Tanzania, although he has also hunted in Zambia and the Sudan. He is also well acquainted with Kenya having resided there for number of years. He is a keen photographer and an avid fly and deep-sea fisherman.

Gerard is married with two teenage children and lives with his wife Belinda and family on a small farm at the foot of Mount Meru on the outskirts of Arusha, Tanzania.

Gerard has a most amenable disposition and a great sense of humour. He is an ideal companion in the bush.
