Taxidermy Information:
Your hunt is never complete, until you receive your animals at home for you to reminisce and re-call your experiences for the rest of your life. Taxidermy is the most important part of your trip after you’ve returned home and it’s the most problematic.
Wattoo Safaris take pride in making sure the hunters are kept in the loop on exactly what is happening to their trophies. We will provide regular updates and will assist with the excellent Taxidermist we use, also can assist with shipping to your doorstep but it’s never without a problem due to the import/export regulation issues with every Country.
There are various Taxidermy Companies we use in different countries who can assist with Dip & Pack or full mounts. It could take anywhere from 6-9 months to complete an order. Please feel free to ask any questions relating to Firearms or Taxidermy.
