Armand Grobler, the owner and operator of Rhulani Safaris is a specialised Photo Guide with a burning passion for African wildlife, in specific the BIG CATS! Armand was born in South Africa and grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. His passion for wildlife came from a young age as he watched his hero, Steve Irwin on TV programs and various Wildlife Documentaries from as early as 8 years old, mimicking Steve by catching snakes and lizards then making his own ‘Documentaries,’ usually filmed by a only a phone camera! Armand soon starting giving Reptile demonstrations at local events and exhibitions demonstrating a deep passion for any animal, not only the furry ones!

Then at the age of 14, Armand started working in the local Pet Store at St Ives Village Green. He built up an impressive Resumé which includes working at Taronga Zoo (YATZ programme), raising lions and leopards in Africa, being chased by wild animals (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and hippo!) and travelling the Kalahari in search of the famous Black Maned Lions. He now spends his time entertaining guests, and sharing his love for wildlife and photography with them!

Above all, Armand’s passion is contagious which his guests greatly enjoy on their Big Cat Photo Safari. His dream of sharing his beautiful country with guests from all over the world has become his reality and he would love to meet anyone wanting to get in touch! Contact Armand personally and join him on one of his crazy big cat photography experience adventures. Armand is currently working on his first Wildlife Project, a Photo Safari Book alongside HPH Publishing displaying the beauty of the Kruger Park region (Manyeleti, Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park) and creating awareness of our beautiful and unique wildlife. Become a part of his project which is to be released in 2021!
