What we do:

Dip and Pack Africa is the first company in the Eastern Cape to specialize in the preparation of game trophies for shipment. In a short period we have earned a reputation as a company that strives for perfection.

We pride ourselves on caring for our outfitters and their clients, in a personal and professional manner.

We collect trophies from outfitters within 14 days of the clients departure, thus, facilitating speedy preparation of trophies and official documentation. Our outfitters and clients are informed on a regular basis as to the status of their shipment, for added peace of mind.

Our premises are approved by the National Department of Agriculture, and all items are checked and tagged before entering into our preparation process.

The crates are custom built for each client on the premises, ensuring shipping costs are kept to a minimum.

Our objective is perfection. Your trophies are as important to us as they are to you
