Tom In TennesseeI used Matabeleland for PG twice and was satisfied with results, but I changed to Taxidermy Enterprises when I had Cats and am very pleased with their work. Both are in Bulawayo
Inspect taxidermists shops in Africa before deciding to use them to ensure they meet your standards!(same goes for States!)
I have used a taxidermist who is now a very good friend in RSA for years now for many animals including those from TAN and ZAM--Kruger Human who owns and operates a small hands on shop in Bloemfomtein---Marakalalo I believe is operating name.
Good luck!
I have been advised and will know in a few months that QuikTan is good for Ele skin panels and ears.
