Each client is welcome to choose their own taxidermist when hunting with Mbogo Hunting Safaris.
We do however highly recommend Trophex Taxidermy. We have a long standing relationship with them and we also use them for our own trophies.
Regardless of which taxidermist you use, you have two options, either Dip & Pack (Dip & Ship) or fully mounted in South Africa.

Dip & Pack (Dip & ship)
Dipping and disinfection is a process that is laid down by the veterinary authorities of South Africa and is designed to kill pathogens and diseases, not to preserve the skins and skulls. It is simply a procedure to make the shipment safe for export. We are required to immerse the skins in an acid solution with a PH of less than 2.5 for 48 hours, after which we dry and resalt the skins. The skulls are cleaned completely and bleached using a Hydrogen Peroxide solution. Before crating, the skins are treated with Carba dust (fine white powder that you’ll see on the skins).
Once the trophies are ready they will be collected by the shipping agent.
The shipping agent will correspond with the clients directly with regards to the shipping costs.
The quote you receive from the taxidermist is for the treatment of the trophies only and does not include the shipping.
You will receive a separate account from your shipping company.

Trophies will be processed and fully mounted in South Africa. The fully mounted trophy will then be crated and collected by the shipping agent.
