Our Stance on Taxidermy and Trophy Exportation
We want to assure you that our commitment is solely to providing an exceptional safari experience, without any financial interest in taxidermy, whether domestically or internationally. Our responsibility lies in securing permits and documentation for the smooth export of your trophies. Trophies can be shipped from Southern Africa either in their raw form or as mounted specimens. If you opt for raw shipment, it will be carefully treated by a South African taxidermist before being sent to a taxidermist of your choosing in your home country. Export regulations and procedures vary depending on the species.
Our Partners in Taxidermy Services
