Taxidermist recommendations in South Africa

another thumbs up for Swift dip. I have used swift dip for my most recent safari--great communications and waiting on Dennis to communicate he is ready to start...
 
DO you have a good African taxidermist in your area? (Ie, within a day's drive?)

If so, get them sent home and mount them there. Simply too much variation in African work in my opinion.
 
I see this an old thread that has been revived. My two cents ( probably one cent) is to bring them home period. I realize by now your hunt is over and I am curious as to what your decision was.
 
Yes, bring them home. If something goes wrong, you have a fighting chance to get them fixed. Fat chance if you deal with Highveld Taxidermist. Their solution to their sh*tty work was for me to ship the mounts to them and pay the shipping & return.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…
