I just got back from South Africa and it was amazing! I've read several threads on here before I left, and thought it's probably time to join, as I think I'll be going back!

Welcome Cam - you will be back!! Have you considered a Namibian Safari?

Welcome to AH.

My animals from the Eastern Cape were done at Splitting Image in Port Elizabeth. I've heard good and bad but if you keep on top of them requesting updates and pictures you shouldn't have any issues. My outfitter was very proactive as well visiting the taxidermist regularly and sending me updates. Good luck.

I've heard good things about them.

When it comes to importing your trophies, give Dale Warren with Talon Distributing in Edmonton a call. He is worth the price if you have to deal with a no mind custom person.

Welcome to AH Cam Moon! Nice to have you on the posting side, looking forward to reading your posts.

 

[ve7poi]

Will have to call him tomorrow as I’ve hit a problem getting anyone to ship my cape buffalo back. One outfit will ship to Toronto by air and insists it need to clear customs brokerage there because it’s one of the big 5 and then ??? To either Taylor BC or Calgary, airline won’t fly it to Calgary said I’d have to go to Toronto to clear it or hire an import broker there..my broker is in Calgary I’ve used for last 6 shipments, no problems. Will keep you all posted

 

[Cam Moon]

But this isn't your first Buffalo is it? No problems before?

 

[Spooksar]

My Cape Buffalo last year was shipped to Edmonton contact Dale at Talon in Edmonton and ask if he knows who to ship with

 

[ve7poi]

I’ll call Dale tomorrow and this is second one just a skull mount this time first bull a full shoulder pedestal mount no problem only difference cargolux no longer transports any trophies on there flights through Europe.To bad they gave good service.

 

[Cam Moon]

This is the skull mount from umlindi correct? And this is the only time you've used them? The reason I ask is because they have all of my animals from the trip I just returned from. I was looking for some feedback about the quality of their workmanship.
