South Africa is as safe as any tourist destination. I personally pick my clients up and again see them off at the airport at the end of every safari. In addition, I am an accredited Close Protection Officer/Bodyguard with years of experience in protecting people. I do the necessary route planning and take every precaution to ensure the safety of my clients for the duration of their stay.

If an animal is wounded, we immediately start searching for the wounded animal. The relevant hunter stops hunting and assists in the search for the wounded animal. If the wounded animal cannot be found or recovered the hunter may continue pursuing other animals. Unfortunately, the hunter is liable for 100% of the wounded animal’s price.

Our taxidermist will collect your trophies from the lodge before dipping and boiling the skulls and cleaning the horns after which it will be crated and the paperwork for export will be processed. They will send you an invoice via email. An export agent will in turn collect the crate before sending you a quotation for shipping. It is recommended to use an import agent in your home country to receive the crate with trophies. After arrival they can either send the trophies directly to your taxidermist or if the taxidermy work was done in South Africa straight to your home address.

In the case of a package, almost all clients get the opportunity at the animals in their package. If a client does not get an animal in their package they don’t pay for that animal.

Allow 1 day per trophy animal with a minimum of 5 hunting days.

Gratuities are not mandatory but is generally expected on an African Safari.

In Africa, meat is gold! Because meat is a real scarce commodity here the Trophy Price only includes the Trophy and the field dressing of Trophies. Ownership of the meat stays with the reserve or ranch where the animal was hunted. Some of the meat goes to the kitchen where it is prepared for clients during their stay. The remainder is usually used as rations for staff or is sold off to butcheries.

In other African Countries where hunting land is not privately owned the meat goes to adjacent villages who also provide game scouts and other staff that work on these concessions. It is usually compulsory for hunting Outfitters to also use the labour of the directly adjacent villages.

No meat is wasted.

Unless your friend is a hunting outfitter and uses the services of a professional hunter who is authorized to sign a hunting register and can provide the applicable permits your trophies will unfortunately not be exportable.
