Colletts Wildlife Artistry
Founded in 2003, Collett’s Wildlife Artistry has earned a distinguished reputation for its unwavering commitment to professionalism and excellence across all facets of its operations. Steve Collett, our founder, honed his taxidermy expertise through extensive training with world-renowned experts in the United States. With a profound passion for the natural world, Steve combines his newly acquired skills with a lifelong understanding of wildlife, resulting in the unique creations that define Collett’s Wildlife Artistry.
Our comprehensive suite of services and products sets us apart from the typical taxidermy establishments. Over our 14 years in operation, we have consistently garnered acclaim for our motto, “Nothing is too big or too difficult for Collett’s.” Having catered to a multitude of clients from all corners of the world, we pride ourselves on our efficient raw export department and our exclusive fur dressing facility.
We take immense pride in serving our customers, and our track record stands as a testament to our dedication to excellence.
Our Ethos & Legacy Continues
Amid a growing lack of trust in Africa and its operations, we emerge as a beacon of positivity for those weary of the prevailing negativity. Our driving force is the unwavering dedication to ensuring our customers receive their trophies in impeccable condition, and the overwhelming expressions of satisfaction they generously share. It’s not about the quantity of money spent or the intricacy of the project we undertake; it’s about our commitment to serving you to the best of our abilities in every aspect of our work.
Jumping ahead 14 years, and after our expansion into South Africa. This move has significantly streamlined our services in these regions, making it much more convenient to cater to countries such as Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Cameroon, and various others across Africa.
Our legacy persists, and we invite you to embark on a journey with us, delving into the realm of lifelike art, sculptures, and unparalleled creativity that captures realism like no other. Our dedicated teams in both Zimbabwe and South Africa stand ready to attend to all your post-hunting needs, providing you with the peace of mind you rightfully deserve.
