Call Directions Website

Professional taxidermy services in South Africa for both the International and Domestic hunter. Trophex is managed and owned by Bertus and Yolanda Steenkamp.

Having been involved in the hunting industry for many years, this family became aware of the lack of good service in the trophy handling sector (taxidermy and dipping for exportation). Trophex originally started with processing raw hunting trophies for export. In the second year of their existence Trophex exported over a 1000 trophies. Trophex started taxidermy and is currently competing with the top Taxidermies in South Africa while being an international competition of note.

Seen this one on the outfitter WhatsApp groups? A vehicle gets stopped next to the road, and there are ri**es inside. 🚓
The client is allowed to travel with his gun in the vehicle. It's when the client isn't in the vehicle that it becomes a problem, because you're not licensed to carry someone else's. So the client heads to Pilanesberg and the PH plans to meet him at the airport with his r***e? Now imagine clients in that vehicle and none of the licensing in place.
Carmen Bousema of Kartula Adventures explains the right way to do it on Podcast #22. Full episode link in the comments.

Hunted in South Africa? We mount it, crate it and help with the export permits, then hand it to your shipping agent to send home.

You asked to see more taxidermy, so we gave you the tour. Gys gave you… Gys. 🪶
From the workshop where the magic happens to the crate it ships home in – your trophies, mounted and exported worldwide.

Would you send a PH who isn't licensed for Big Five on a buffalo hunt? 🐃
Maybe it goes fine. The buffalo goes down, the client's happy and another PH gets put on the documents. But if that buffalo charges and kills the client or the PH, everything changes. "We'll get away with it, it won't happen to us" is a very South African way of thinking.
Carmen's point on Podcast #22: why would you cut corners on the eco-tourism leg when you'd never do it on the hunt? Full episode link in the comments.

Outfitters, this one's for you. 🚐
Your clients are in South Africa for the first time, with their family, and they've heard all the stories. Half an hour after pickup, a traffic officer stops your van. No operating licence, so the vehicle is impounded.
Carmen Bousema of Kartula Adventures went through it herself when she started. Her advice: get the right licence and have that peace of mind, because when clients go home, they spread the word.

"You guys missed the visitor." "What visitor?" "Mr. Mamba." 🐍
On a trip to Tanzania, the mamba was up in the thatch of the bar hut, right next to Skip's head. Good luck sleeping that night. Full story on Podcast #21, on our YouTube channel.

"How in the hell are two strong men and one old man going to put that animal in the back of the truck?" 🤔
Andre had a hunting trick: the winch, run over the top of the bakkie. Mr. Skip did the hard part and pushed the button. Even Keith the engineer was impressed. Full episode: Podcast #21 on our YouTube channel.
