Limpopo Dip & Pack Recommendations

btheis13 · Mar 8, 2025

After long and hard consideration I've decided to have my safari taxidermy done back here in the U.S.. Now I need to find a company to dip and pack in the Limpopo providence. From my Google search I have found 3 options, but I'm sure there are others:
#1. Swift Dip
#2. Trophy Solutions
#3. Trophy Pro SA
Any thoughts/recommendations would be much appreciated.

Trophy Solutions has done 20 dip and ship animals for me. No problems but I wish there was some way to keep the horns from turning dark.

They did what they said they would do when they said they would do it and communicated every step of the way.

…I second codofish’s comments, used Trophy Solutions for dip and pack this past August, professional and kept me fully up to date along the way.
They handed crates off to Condor Cargo, whom I would also give a thumb’s up.

I’ve used field and stream multiple times over 20 years. Always good results.

My outfitter I used when hunting Limpopo used Nylstroom Taxidermy for dip and pack, used them twice with good results and communication both times.

A big Thumbs Up for Trophy Solutions in Polokwane. They promise a 99 day dip and pack processing time (Less the month of December when South Africa seems to shut down for Christmas) for trophies with complete and correct paper work. In my case in August 2023 they had my dip and pack Buffalo, Zebra, Honey Badger, and Baboon all finished and in a crate on its way to Johannesburg with a few days to spare.

I can only speak for Swift Dip. I've used them twice and it was a flawless process with them. I met the owner (Antonie) personally as he is also a PH. I would recommend Swift Dip 100 times over. Antonie and his wife own and run their business and they communicate through the entire process. The emailed pictures of the skulls and hides before they got crated and then pictures of the crate one packed.

I used field and stream as well and have no complaints. Very responsive with good communication.

I'd recommend seeing who your PH partners with as that will probably make the handoff go more smoothly and you'll have someone in-country to advocate for you if something does go wrong.
