Simon was born to hunt. He started as a teenager with problem animal control work in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District hunting Buffalo, Lion, Elephant and Hippo and obtained a trainee Professional Hunters licence while still at school. When hunting was closed in Kenya, Simon moved to Tanzania and has been hunting every year since 1983.

Simon has hunted extensively in Ethiopia as well as the C.A.R. and Cameroon. He has escorted clients within South Africa and has hunted Elephant in Botswana. He has twice accompanied clients on successful Polar bear hunts in the North West Territories of Canada.

Simon has large and loyal client following. Simon has been hunting with Robin Hurt Safaris in Tanzania since the early 1980’s and is considered one of Africa’s finest PH’s.
