Well 18 months after our family went hunting and on holiday in South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2008 our trophys have arrived. My trophys from June last year were also included.

My son Cameron fired the first shot and killed an older female Blesbok. The highlight of that trip was Cam taking a Rowland Ward Steinbok with his .243W after an hour long stalk in open grassveldt un-assisted.

We used Savuti Taxidermy and Kingela Forwarders. All communication was excellent. Kingela answered all e-mails within 24 hours of business hours. I will use both again.

Savuti blackened the horns on the trophys which is unfortunate as it is not the natural look. As I'm ignorant of Taxidermy matters it doesn't really matter. Kingela did a great job packing and the mounts were all bolted to the sides of the box and wrapped in bubble wrap. All the trophys were sent and were the same animals we shot. Tamex couriers delivered to my front door within 24 hours.
