WHAT TCI OFFERS OUR CLIENTS
Why Choose TCI Taxidermy Over Others?
We choose to view taxidermy as a fine art rather than a factory process. At TCI Taxidermy, we recreate the spirit of the African wild by combining strict anatomical precision with deep artistic integrity across all species. From the delicate handling of birds and reptiles to the immense scale of the Big Five, our talented team ensures your trophy looks natural, active, and correct from every angle.
Reassuring that Preservation Challenges are Solved:
Based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, TCI Taxidermy understands the rugged terrain of your hunt and the specific preservation challenges it presents. We solve these environmental issues by utilising tanning techniques and premium, insect-resistant chemicals made to withstand diverse climates.
Our Unique Safeguard:
We maintain an extensive stock of spare capes, back skins, and flat skins for ninety-five per cent of animals hunted in Zimbabwe. This unique safety net guarantees that a mistake in the field or a failure in transit will never cost you the physical reminder of your successful African safari.
Unmatched Service:
TCI Taxidermy provides a vital field collection service directly from your hunting camp, ensuring proper handling from the very start. By managing everything locally from our Bulawayo base, we offer significantly faster turnaround times than our competitors.
In House Expertise:
We are Zimbabwe’s only provider to offer both taxidermy and freight services completely in-house. This exclusive arrangement eliminates third-party delays and streamlines the entire export process, providing you with unmatched convenience and complete peace of mind from our Bulawayo workshop straight to your home country.
Our Promise:
At TCI Taxidermy, we will go to every length to ensure your trophies are returned safely to your home, flawlessly preserving your safari memories for a lifetime. From the moment you pull the trigger in the Zimbabwe bush to the day your custom mount is unwrapped on the other side of the world, your legacy is secure in our hands.
