Greetings and Salutations to All,
We are heading to RSA next month with Zeekoepan Safaris on our first African safari, and we are very excited to say the least! My wife and I will be in-country for 10 days on a seven-animal safari.
As we make our final financial plans for the trip, I was curious if somebody could give me a ballpark estimate on what the dip and pack at the taxidermist would run. In the crate we will have the hides/horns for: Greater Kudu (shoulder mount), Impala (lifesize), Warthog (lifesize), Zebra (lifesize), Nyala (lifesize), Blue Wildebeast (shoulder mount), and Blesbuck (shoulder mount).
This will be our first experience importing hides from abroad, and I need to know what to expect as far as costs are concerned.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
