A celebration of Africa, crafted by hand.

This bespoke wall piece features the continent of Africa brought to life through carefully selected hide inlays, combining a variety of natural patterns and tones into one flowing composition. Each section is individually shaped and fitted to create a truly one-of-a-kind artwork.

Framed in beautifully finished timber with soft sculpted edges, the piece blends fine woodworking with wildlife artistry in a way that feels both modern and deeply rooted in African heritage.

A beautifully balanced piece that captures both movement and character.

This custom Pied Crow display combines natural storytelling with fine craftsmanship, featuring two birds positioned around mounted horns and a weathered skull element to create depth and visual flow. The contrast of the bold black-and-white plumage against the warm timber base gives the piece a clean, striking presence.

From the hand-finished habitat work to the carefully composed positioning, every detail was crafted to feel natural, refined, and full of life.

A unique display that turns even the smallest subjects into timeless wildlife art.

This Zebra shoulder mount is reimagined as a framed piece, where every stripe becomes part of the composition. The natural patterns flow seamlessly across the form, creating a striking visual rhythm that draws the eye from edge to edge.

Set within a clean, gallery-style frame, the mount transforms into wall art - blending taxidermy with interior design. The crisp black and white tones stand bold against the neutral surround, allowing the craftsmanship and natural beauty to take full focus.

A refined take on a classic, crafted to elevate both the space it lives in and the story it carries.

This Impala skull mount highlights the natural symmetry and elegance of the horn structure, set against a refined dual-tone shield. The contrast between the deep outer frame and warm inner backing draws focus to the clean, polished bone and rich horn texture.

Every line is intentional. Every angle considered.
A timeless display that speaks to the beauty of simplicity, crafted with the same precision and care that has defined Highveld Taxidermists since 1981.

For many of us, time in the field is where we find stillness - a place to reflect on what matters.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the service members who never came home. Their sacrifice is why we're free to walk these woods, chase these horizons, and share these stories.

With gratitude, always.

This full Lion mount captures him mid-stride, muscles engaged, jaws parted and eyes locked forward in controlled intensity. It is a moment of movement frozen with absolute precision.

Set on a custom rock habitat with sculpted terrain, natural grass detailing and recessed castor wheels for easy movement, the piece reflects both raw wilderness and refined craftsmanship. From the texture of the mane to the tension in the foreleg placement, every element is shaped to honour anatomical accuracy and lifelike realism.

A commanding centrepiece worthy of the king himself.

The Southern Greater Kudu is Africa’s spiral-horned icon - elegant, alert and instantly recognisable. This 3D mount captures that noble expression, with sweeping horns perfectly balanced and the soft grey coat finished to highlight natural muscle definition and facial detail.

Mounted on a handcrafted Africa-shaped hardwood shield with a precision hide inlay, the piece celebrates both continent and creature. The rich timber grain and subtle contrast detailing elevate the presentation while allowing the kudu’s refined features to remain the focal point.

A timeless tribute to one of Africa’s most majestic antelope.

This Waterbuck mount is presented on a hand carved Zulu shield, where clean woodwork meets the natural beauty of the animal. The tall, vertical design elevates the mount, drawing the eye from the base through to the sweeping horns.

Hand-shaped detailing in the shield, paired with forged spear accents, creates a piece that feels both rooted in heritage and refined in ex*****on. The soft tones of the hide contrast beautifully against the rich wood grain, bringing balance to the entire composition.

A statement piece that stands with presence, precision, and purpose - crafted to honour both the animal and the legacy behind it.

The Cape Buffalo is Africa’s monarch - heavy-horned, battle-scarred and commanding respect at every turn. This pedestal mount captures that formidable character, from the boss texture and sweeping horn curve to the powerful expression that defines this iconic species.

Set atop a handcrafted hexagonal hardwood pedestal with integrated storage. The rich timber grain and precise panel work reflect the same meticulous attention to detail that shapes every mount leaving our studio.

Creating heirloom pieces designed to stand proud for decades to come.

This dynamic battle scene captures the sheer intensity of two river giants in confrontation - the crushing force of a crocodile meeting the immovable strength of a hippo. Every scale, ripple and muscle contour has been meticulously sculpted to recreate the tension of that explosive moment.

From the lifelike water effects to the precision detailing in hide and texture, this piece showcases the advanced craftsmanship. These are not mounts. They are storytelling centrepieces.

This mount can be moved around easily as we have incorporated recessed castor wheels.

Built with generational skill and an uncompromising commitment to realism, this is legacy craftsmanship at its boldest.
