Trophaendienste Taxidermy

[kevin]

I am curious of those that have used Trophaendienste Taxidermy in Namibia how long it took after your trophies were dropped off before
you actually heard from them ? I had 10 trophies dropped off a little over 2 months ago and I have not heard from them and maybe this is normal and it will take some more time which is perfectly understandable. Just not sure how they operate.I did try to contact them but have not heard anything back.

Who are you reaching out to? I found them to be very responsive

are you asking about Dip and pack time? are you asking about finished trophies?

I have an on going thread about my current trophies in Namibia

Thread 'My 2025 trophies are done - Namibia Taxidermy'

Sep 15, 2026

My most recent safari in Namibia was in May 2025. I wanted to start this thread to share my recent experience, costs, and eventually the full timeline of getting my trophies home.

Getting trophies home can be a big worry for a lot of first time African hunters,and rightfully so!
so I always like sharing my experiences to give people a better idea of what the process actually looks like and what they can expect to pay.

Taxidermy:
I decided to have my trophies done in Namibia. Personally, I believe some of the best taxidermy is done right here in my home state of Texas, but I’m also...

Sending you a PM with Firedel’s email. He is shop manager,

Who did you hunt with in Namibia?

And just fyi, they quote 13-16 months for finished and crated mounts.

Namibia currently has all animal exports paused. You can read my thread I linked for more info on that.

Perfect thank you . I hunted with Khomas Highlands in July and the trophies were dropped off at the end of July to the taxidermist.

13-16 months is excellent and I am in no means in a hurry

I had to make contact with my taxidermist first. But I would not expect too much right now because there is a Foot and Mouth Disease Quarantine in Namibia. This is may slow everything down for the next year or so.

Oh great, hope you had a good time hunting with Philips outfit.

Glad you are not in a rush! My trophies were just about to be shipped and had just gotten picked up from Trophiendesnte by the shipper. Then bam! The Namibia gov paused all exports.

It will get sorted though. Just a little more waiting

Cheers
