GENERAL INFORMATION

Trophy Solutions Africa (TSA) is in operation since early 2003 and is owned by Johan and Estie van der Merwe. 

We run a bona fide "Dip and Pack Facility" and dedicate all our time, attention and energy to our business.  Our business does not play second fiddle to another business, like a Hunting Operation or Taxidermy. We provide the client with a superior product which will provide him / her with decades of pleasure after being mounted. 

With the naked eye any two processed trophy parts might look alike, but it is your taxidermist that must bring your trophy back to "life" again. References and "thank-yous" received from numerous taxidermists and clients are the final proof that our product is by far superior. 

Our processes have been physically inspected and approved by several Master Taxidermists from the United States of America and United Kingdom.

Estie has got nine years experience in the "Dipping and Packing" of trophies and Johan was a Professional Hunter / Big Game Guide for several years.  We noticed the urgent need for a specialized and dedicated company who can see to it that clients receive their trophies in real good time.

It is not necessary to wait 8 - 10 months on your trophies!

We therefore guarantee a client that his / her trophies will be ready for collection by the shipping company within 99 days, pending that all documentation was received from the Hunting Outfitter in good time and that we have received confirmation from the client to proceed with processing.  We are currently running at a turn around time of 45 - 65 days. 

Please take note: We sometimes battle to get export permits back from certain provincial issuing authorities in time to make our deadline. This is completely beyond our control.

We do not have any hidden costs like collection of trophies, packing and crating, administration fees, transportation, storage fees, etc....

Our facility is approved by the South African Veterinary Services (Department of Agriculture) as a Trophy Import and Export Processing Facility. Our facility is inspected on a yearly basis to ensure we comply to local and international regulations.

Our company is registered with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism as set out in new legislation, Act No. 10 of 2004: National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004.  All "Trophy Handling Facilities" have to be registered with the Department with effect from March 1, 2008. 

Please make sure the facility of the company you plan on using is registered....if not, your trophy will die again, soon.....

We provide the Ultimate Solution to the Dipping and Packing of your Hunting Trophies.
