The 2006 season has been a great success and we would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our clients and our dedicated TAS staff for making it possible.  South Africa is once again proving to be the country of choice for hunters all over the world.

 

We at Tollie’s African Safaris are fortunate to have such a wonderful and dedicated staff who all share the love and passion for what we do and all of whom who work tirelessly to ensure that all our client's expectations are exceeded. Our staff is here to ensure that you have a fabulous and successful safari so please do not hesitate to contact us with absolutely any queries or enquiries regarding a safari.

 

Our PH’s and trackers, as always, did their best to obtain the best quality trophies in the time available. In many instances monster trophies are taken simply by being in the right place at the right time. It certainly is wonderful to take a really big trophy and everyone enjoys the moment and excitement but in the same breath I will say that even a lesser trophy should be enjoyed and appreciated just as much, as its life is worth the same. Sometimes the most exciting and nail-biting stalk might yield an average trophy, but what was lost out on in "those inches" is made up in the thrill of a great hunt and stalk. These are trophies that hunters will remember forever. Therefore it is not the record books that determine a great safari, rather it is the overall experience, the camaraderie and the service we provide whether in the field or from the office. The happy campfires, beautiful animals, golden sunsets and the firm friendships that are formed determine, in my humble opinion, a great safari!

 

Also, thanks to you - our valued client - for your contribution to a great season and for your support and confidence. Your support, trust and loyalty is always welcomed and appreciated. As always, we assure you of our best personal services at all times as we continue to strive for quality and excellence.

 

During 2004 we also thought of advertising more, we had a look at a few options and do advertise more in the hunting magazines now. And then we also decided to make a video for each client hunting here. At the start we battled a bit, but we learnt quickly and I am sure each and every client who visited us during the year has enjoyed their personal video tremendously. We have just finished our promotional video (in DVD format) with all the highlights of 2005 and we are very proud of it. So if you are interested in receiving one, please contact us and we’ll mail you one.

 

Another new venture is Tollie’s Tannery & Taxidermy. Government has implemented a new law that trophies may only be exported from a Veterinary approved quarantine dipping station which is inspected and certified for export. As we do our own dip and pack of the trophies, to ensure the best quality service for our clients, we decided to go ahead with the facility. Together with the dip and pack station we also decided to add a further service for our clients and started a taxidermy business with Rudolph Ferreira as the qualified taxidermist. We are fully in business now and am proud to say that we have mounted a lot of trophies for our clients this past year and Rudolph did and excellent job. His work is of a very high standard and top quality mounts were delivered to our clients.
