Namibia Taxidermist Recommendations
Does anyone have any recommendations for dip/pack and finished taxidermy services in Windhoek?

I'm having a hard time researching reputable outfits. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

When are you hunting? I have a shipment sitting in Windhoek as we speak. Once it ships and clears in Chicago i can give you some feedback. It was primarily dip and pack, but i did have some rugs and tanning done.

I'll be hunting in October. I would be interested in hearing about your experience. I may also do a combination of dip/pack and several tanned rugs.

Can all of that be shipped in the same shipment?

I used http://www.trophaendienste.com/location.html in 2008 for a combination of a shoulder mount, Euro mounts and rugs and everything still looks great 9 years later.

I have used both Nyati (2006) and Trophaendienst (2009) -- for both mounts and skins/skulls, and no issues or problems with either outfit. If I remember correctly, the tannery was near Nyati in North Windhoek.

Around Windhoek, I reccommend Tropaendienste as well. If closer to Otjiwarongo, Kings Taxidermy are also good.

We had a bit of a wreck with King's in 2014 but understand they have changed hands since then. In the end it all worked out but it took 2.5 years.
