About Us

Oberholzer Taxidermy

At Oberholzer Taxidermy, wildlife and ethical hunting are the foundation of everything we do. With deep respect for Africa’s natural heritage, we create refined, lifelike trophies that honor both the animal and the experience behind the hunt. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted as a lasting legacy — a personal reflection of your journey, designed to complement distinguished interiors and private collections worldwide.

Based in Lephalale, South Africa, we are the oldest established taxidermy studio in the region. While many studios have come and gone, our commitment to uncompromising quality, integrity, and craftsmanship has endured. Our longevity is a testament to the trust placed in us by discerning local and international hunters over generations.

We operate as an exclusive studio, intentionally limiting our workload to ensure absolute attention to detail and bespoke results. We serve a select international clientele and work only with carefully chosen professional outfitters who share our values and understanding of ethical hunting and fine taxidermy.

Realism and authenticity define our work. Every mount is individually crafted to your exact specifications using custom techniques — never mass-produced commercial forms — ensuring each piece captures the animal’s natural character, presence, and elegance. The result is a true representation of Africa’s remarkable wildlife
