Christiaan Mathys Bakkes (born 3 August 1965 in Vredenburg) is a noted South African writer. He is the son of Cas and Margaret Bakkes and the brother of C. Johan Bakkes.
For a time he worked as a game ranger in the Kruger National Park, where during the early 1990s he was involved in elephant culling,[1] a practice to which he developed ethical objections. In 1994 he suffered serious injury inside the park in a crocodile attack. Hereafter he commenced a new career in die Damaraland desert, where he acts as guide and conservation official for Wilderness Safaris.[1][2][3] He is described as a fan of punk rock music.
