The spotted hyena, found in sub-Saharan Africa, is known for its eerie laughter and matriarchal clans. They're not just scavengers but skilled hunters with powerful jaws that can crush bones. Social and smart, hyenas play a key role in the ecosystem by hunting and cleaning up carcasses.

Advantages of tanning in Africa

Peace of mind that the quality of your hides, now fully processed, is excellent prior to leaving Africa. Damages can be identified and rectified and, in extreme circumstances, be replaced before leaving Africa.

Cost savings. Instead of sending relatively heavy dipped & packed cargo, finished tanned hides, fully bleached, and cut skulls, ready to be mounted, take up less space and weigh less. This reduces both your export and import costs.

Time. While skins have to be prepared for export (dipping & packing) anyway, why not use those months to start the tanning process in Africa? Your taxidermist back home will have a shorter turnaround and you will get your trophies home quicker.

Option for doing the work later. Because the hides are completely preserved and safe to store for many years, you now have options, delaying the taxidermy back home due to money or space constraints; the options are in your hands.

Tanning (also referred to as Cape Ranning or Dry Tanning)

A common opinion of non-African taxidermists is, “The tanning in Africa is not up to scratch.” While this might have been the case in years gone by, the tanning process used by the taxidermists in the TTS program are using only the original BASF (German) chemicals for tanning, ensuring top quality results. The modified Alum process allows your taxidermist back home to simply rehydrate the skins, and then begin the mounting process, saving you precious time and money.

The Honey Badger!

One of the most amazing animals in Africa.

Fearless strong and afraid of nothing, the honey badger should be high up on any Hunter's wish list.

Dipping & packing
(also referred to as raw prep, solution-treated, unfinished)

Dipping & packing is the minimum processing requirement that a hunting trophy must undergo in order to be imported into your country. Bones, hooves, horns, skulls, teeth and tusks should be clean and dry, meaning free of any undried pieces of hide, flesh, sinew or any other organic matter.

Taxidermy in Africa - PROS:
• Fewer steps in the process. Less handling of your trophies.
• African-based taxidermists work exclusively on African game; many are hunters who understand African game.
• Most African taxidermists do their own in-house tanning.
• Work can be checked and verified before it leaves Africa, allowing any problems to be resolved before heading home. These include hair slip or extensive damage to the skin, and it is a fact - problems do occupationally occur.
• Finished mounts can be delivered directly to your trophy room.
• It saves you time and money.

Taxidermy in Africa - CONS
Accountability can be difficult when problems arise and you’re on the other side of the globe.
• Not having an immediate contact in your time zone and home country.
• It is difficult to address problems after your trophies arrive home and have already been paid for.

Taxidermy back home - PROS:
• Work done back home by a taxidermist you know provides a greater level of comfort.
• World-class taxidermists back home may just be preferable to use, regardless of costs.
• Managing issues back home may be easier to deal with.
• Having your hides tanned in Africa, even if final mounting is to be completed at home, will save you time and money.

Taxidermy back home - CONS:
• It will generally take much longer to receive your completed mounts, especially if you only opt for dipping and packing in Africa.
• Completing the dipping & packing process for export from Africa requires four months, minimum. You’ll still need to have them tanned at home before mounting them can begin.
• Lack of familiarity with African species for less-experienced taxidermists.
• Difficulty in resolving problems with hair slip once your trophies are back home.
• Higher costs.

What to look out for in the field

It’s the client’s responsibility to ensure that he/she hunts with a reputable outfitter. Make certain to get a copy of the Professional Hunting Register from the PH or Outfitter you use. The first page (as it states clearly) must be handed to the client. This is proof that you conducted a legal hunt.

Think about your Taxidermy requirements before
you leave home

Long after the details of your African safari are lost to time, the shoulder mounts, full mounts, European mounts, rugs, and skulls adorning your home or office will serve as daily reminders of your safari adventure. The trophies you bring home are the longest-lasting and most impactful mementos of your safari experiences.

Taxidermy also comprises a significant part of your overall safari costs, so it pays to think about how you want to display your trophies before you leave home, during the safari planning stage.
