Clients can choose dip and pack for export to their home taxidermist, or full taxidermy in South Africa. Waidmannsheil Safaris works with experienced taxidermists and international shipping agents who assist with veterinary documentation, export permits, quotations, packing, shipping, and delivery.
What animals can I hunt?
Available species and approved prices are listed on the Animals page. Species remain subject to availability, quota and applicable permits.
What is the best hunting season?
South African hunting is commonly planned in the cooler, drier months, but the best date depends on target species and availability.
