who we are

For more than four decades, Safari Taxidermy has proudly served both local and international clients, with a strong base of returning, satisfied customers who trust in the consistent quality of our work.

We specialize in capturing the true essence of your hunting experience by creating high-quality mounts and decorative pieces that reflect the unmatched beauty of the nature.

Craftsmanship That Speaks for Itself

Our team is highly trained, skilled, and passionate about producing work of the highest standard. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure a refined, lifelike result — a trophy that not only celebrates your achievement but becomes a lasting story you’ll be proud to share and display.

We believe that your trophy is more than just a mount — it is a living memory, a piece of your adventure that will live on for generations. This belief drives our commitment to perfection, and our clients are involved every step of the way to ensure their vision becomes reality.

Our promise to you:

  • Unmatched attention to detail
  • Over 48 years of expertise
  • Expert handling of import/export and shipping logistics
  • Full-service taxidermy: mounting, dipping & packing

  • Trophy measuring (upon request)
  • Photos prior to shipping (upon request)

  • Friendly, responsive communication

  • Peace of mind, every step of the way
