The Safari World of Robin Hurt | Professional Hunters




	Mike Bartlett

Mike was born in Nyeri, Kenya in 1950 and spent his early years on his family ranch on the slopes of Mount Kenya. His love of hunting was encouraged by his father and uncle, both of whom were famous Professional Hunters.

As a child, Mike accompanied them both on extensive hunting safaris throughout East Africa. Mike’s early education was completed at Nyeri, Kenya before emigrating with the family to Australia.

After a stint at Agricultural College in Australia, Mike returned to Africa to join his uncle’s hunting company, Hunters Africa, in Botswana and was first licensed as a PH in 1970.

Mike has hunted with Robin Hurt for 26 years and, in addition, he has enjoyed successful professional hunting in Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania and, more recently, the Congo.

Mike spends most of his year hunting but, when he has a break, can be found globe trotting, staying with his many loyal clients or visiting the family in Australia. Mike is married to Debbie and they have a daughter, Jemma.
