I did a search, and got a bunch of results from 2006 and older.

I'm looking for a dip and pack company near Port Elizabeth. The one that the outfitter recommends on their site looks pretty expensive compared to Zimbabwe and Namibia rates.

Can anyone recommend some South African companies?

Thanks,

We used Karl Human Taxidermy out of East London for our last shipment.

I used Karoo Taxidermy near East London SA for my last shipment. I was referred to them by a fellow Northwest friend with trophies coming into Portland and client of Crusader Safaris out of PE.
I had hunted with good friend Cam Greig at Bombazi Wilderness north of East London....most of his clients were Europeans and was not familiar with US shipments....and local taxidermists were pretty out the top....
Karoo came into East London to pick up my trophies and the cost was one-third in total, ie dip/pack/doc, forwarding and Air...then we combined three safaris into one shipment for bigger savings. Excellent work!

Good luck, they will do a great job for you!

Use Paul Smith and Relive Taxidermy out of PE. Top notch. Highly recommend.

Taxidermy Africa ; 1st choice, 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th choice. Done and dusted, are we clear.

Karoo Taxidermy burned my kudu horns. Not blackened, burned them. Had to take an old bronze brush and drill to grind the ash off and do-it-myself/make something I could put on a shield. A combined shipment started out with a crate from the first half of the safari and what I received was a cardboard box, full of SevinDust coating whatever wasn't bagged and shield mounts broken. Listen to Scriptus, Frank.

Taxidermy Africa did better work in 2005. Only European mounts and flatskins so no dip-and-pack, but they made me happy.

splitting image taxidermy do a great job , they are fast and communicative.....

Karoo Taxidermy did an excellent job for me, everything perfectly clean and packed well. No hassels with Docs, etc. Done fast and efficient and communicated very well.
I have had problems in other shipments, most recently in Namibia but previously with forwarder in SA on shipment from Mozi.....very high costs seem to be a driving factor today. Karoo was VERY reasonable based on two others that were involved by the Outfitter.
Cheers

Another vote for Taxidermy Africa. I used them for many years before I stopped having trophies mounted. Kathy and family have a long history in taxidermy.

Thanks guys, it looks like I have a lot of emailing to do.

Not really, only one. Check with Taxidermy Africa, they used to give a guarantee on their work as well as a "how to care for the end product."
