Clients trophies are usually delivered to the taxidermy and shipping agent after the completion of the hunt, and should take about 30 days for cleaning and drying out properly. Shipping will take up to 6 weeks to reach their destination. The cost of taxidermy work in Namibia is affordable, the quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the end product very realistic as they are totally familiar with the features and expressions of our local game. There is very little difference in the weight, and therefore the cost of shipping raw or mounted trophies. Current completion of mounts is about 12 months. We
will gladly obtain quotations for you from our personal local taxidermist. Rifle Import Requirements
