'Paul Grobler is a man of many parts - successful tobacco and stock farmer, doyen of ivory hunters, business entrepreneur and safari operator, skilled pilot and fine golfer, linguist and philanthropist. Paul's reputation was built on his early prowess as an elephant hunter, an activity which not only contributed the finance, via ivory sales, for his early farming ventures, but provided the grounding for his later involvement in the first major elephant culling operations in Southern African game parks. A natural progression led him into commercial safari hunting, crocodile farming and kapenta fishing.

A lifetime of adventurous exploits in the African wilds is, by definition, loaded with potential dangers but Paul's powers of survival varied from the uncanny to the bizarre as those who know him well will testify. His remarkable physical fitness and sharp intellect today, aged in his eighties, bear witness to this amazing endurance. ...

Paul was the author's mentor in the art of elephant hunting ...'
