MARAKALALO Taxidermy

[Kalahari Ferrari]

Has anyone here recently used Marakalalo taxidermy in Bloemfontein?

Debating whether to have them taxidermy a kudu or just have them ship it stateside and have a local TX taxidermist work on it. Can anyone also speak to the economics, it sounds like its more economical to have the taxidermy done stateside.

Do dip and pack. Have done here at home where you have more control over it. No recourse if done there and gets here and there are issues.
Our own @gizmo is great on Kudu.
Based in Amarillo.
Hers is euro and wall pedestal he did for me

Kruger has done a lot of work for me. Everything has been excellent, currently have 2 crates in ocean transit coming from him. What few issues (assuming from shipping) Kruger has instructed me exactly how to fix

I currently have a couple of pieces with Marakalalo and they came recommended by someone that I trust.

Nice, if he's done a kudu for you, would you happen to have a picture to share?

I have wall pedestal Springbok, Tsessebe and Nyala done by Marakalalo in transit, these animals were hunted in March 2025, should be in Chicago shortly. I'll let you know when I see them.

About 80% of all the animals my studio mounts is African work. I love doing it and that is where my passion is.
