We do not have any financial interests either directly or indirectly in Taxidermy either in South Africa or Internationally. We are however tasked with the processing of permits and documentation for the exportation of your trophies.

Trophies can be shipped from Southern Africa either raw or mounted. In the case of a raw shipment it will be sent to a taxidermist of your choice in your country of origin after being thoroughly treated by a South African taxidermist. The regulations and procedures for exporting varies depending on the species hunted.

We are able to advise on preferred Taxidermists for the mounting of trophies in South Africa. Their close proximity to our hunting concessions also ensures that our clients are able to take a tour of the operation should they wish to see the process for themselves.
