The author went on his first African trip in 1953 when he hunted in Tanganyika with PH Clary Palmer-Wilson. Bazzy was a lucky man and a good hunter, and on that trip he shot a lesser kudu that still ranks today in the top five in the record book. Once he acquired a taste of Africa, he obviously wanted to get back, for, let's face it, who does not? In fact, he loved Africa so much he decided to make a living off the hunting industry. To that end, he started taking clients to Africa, and, at the same time he became an apprentice PH. He took numerous trips to East Africa in those early days, bagging most of the big five, before trying out the hunting fields of the Sudan. His first safari to the Sudan in 1961 started a love affair with that country that was to last most of his life. He went back to the Sudan multiple times, seeing the country in all its savage beauty. There he met the greats of the hunting industry including Tony Sanchez, Angelo Dacey, and Franz Coupe. It can be fairly said that there are few people who have had more experience in the Sudan than Chuck Bazzy.
