Hopefully, this info will help fellow future hunters know what to expect when taking trophies home from Mozambique. This was not readily available info when I did my research before my first Mozambique hunt in October 2023. It costs an arm and a leg to get salted trophies from Mozambique to SA for export!
As I understand it there is only one company in Mozambique that handles all trophy exports to South Africa, Emiac World Wide. Nothing can be exported directly from Mozambique. Everything must go to SA for dip/pack export. I believe all trophies go to Lifeform Taxidermy in SA then wherever the client wants.
I shot a cape buffalo and a large croc and took both trophies. My cost from Emiac just to get the buffalo and croc to Lifeform in SA was $3,000 ($2,999 to be exact). That is before the dip/pack, export, broker, taxidermy, etc. I will be happy when my trophies make it to the States to go to my taxidermist hopefully mid 2025. But in the future, I doubt I will take any trophies home from Mozambique. Just pics going forward in Mozambique.
I do love hunting in Mozambique! I am already booked for a 2025 buffalo hunt in Mozambique. I plan to return many times (and take trophy pics). But the trophy export costs are crazy!
FYI if you plan to hunt Mozambique and bring trophies home, prepare to spend a lot of cash.
