Calibres and Crocodile Hunting on Malawi’s Wild Rivers

For over a decade, my work took place on some of the most unforgiving waterways in southern Africa. In Malawi, crocodile hunting was never a sport in the romantic sense. It was problem-animal control, conducted along remote rivers where communities lived close to the water and paid dearly when an enormous crocodile claimed a stretch of river as its own.
