armorerWe used Andy Hunter, also a PH, very satisfactorily. This was dip and pack only. I advise getting the taxidermy done here in the USA. If spoiled capes, skins, or horns arrive you are not out the cost of taxidermy plus extra shipping cost.

joesterJust having a few rugs made, rest is dip-n-pack... Still wondering if anyone has used TCI ??
Cuan visited us in camp last week, and I will be having them do several Ele skin panels for me. I have not had work done by them previously.

Joe Savikataaq JrHBH,
Are you getting boots from them also? Last week I was at their shop in Bulawayo!and I was amazed at life like work they do with African animals. We are getting 3 animals there,and I am not worried about they will look or turn out.

Flipper DudeI have a cape buffalo , as well as a bushbuck and zebra there now. Recommended by Martin Pieters Safaris. Hoping for the best, although taxidermy has been the most frustrating part of my safari experiences.

10 years ago i had 5 animals done in Bulawayo. very satisfied with the work and saved about $2000. don't know about quality now but it was certainly good back then.

miketaylorI used TCI in 2011, their work was great. I had a Kudu Shoulder mount, Kudu Back skin and Waterbuck European mount done. I will be using them again. Paula Bortolan was a great help, she replied to all my emails very quickly.
With kind regards

dr_dog_guyMartin recommended TCI to me as well. At present they are preparing to ship a couple of purses, two rifle cases, and dipped and packed 2 buff, waterbuck, bushbuck, and kudu, Dealing with them via email has been fine; Carol is quite responsive and worked well with me on selecting the items they made from my back skins. But I haven't seen the results yet. That I am really looking forward to. Soon.....
