Buzz Charlton

Buzz was born into a hunting family. His father, Tony, hunted in Kenya with Ker & Downey and completed his apprenticeship under John Kingsley-Heath. Buzz followed the same calling directly after school, beginning his own apprenticeship under Lou Hallamore before moving into Dande North in the Zambezi Valley.

Years responsible for problem-animal control, together with extensive dangerous-game experience, built the calm judgement and fieldcraft for which he is known. Elephant hunting remains one of his greatest challenges, demanding fitness, stamina and complete trust in an exceptional tracking team.

Buzz’s approach is grounded in ethical fair chase, honesty and hospitality. For him, a successful safari is not measured by trophies alone, but by the quality of the hunt and the enduring connection between guest, team and wilderness.
