Grand Safari trackers are not only experts on tracking and skinning, but also good companions and assistants during your safari. The field preparation of your trophies as well as the taxidermy are two very important parts of your safari. While Grand Safari does the field preparation itself. We have relations with taxidermist in South Africa. A quick visit in their workshop after your safari will show you how it's done. The work is of very high quality, delays are moderate and all paper work is done on time. If you are accustomed to working with any other taxidermist, they will forward your raw trophies (often called "Dipping & Packing") to the taxidermist of your choice. Your Tanzanian trophies can either be shipped  in South Africa, or to any other taxidermist in the world. The choice is yours.

It is always recommended to hunt with your own guns, and you will be able to do so at any of our destinations. We will provide you with the necessary forms, and we will take care of getting all African permits on your behalf. You will also need to show a US Customs form upon return to the US, obtained prior to leaving the US, listing the make, model, and serial number of your guns.
