Tau Taxidermy

Van Rooyen Strydom was born in Keimoes in the Northern Cape and as a young boy and through his teenage years he grew up to deeply appreciate the captivating wilderness that surrounded him in the rugged Drakensberg Mountains where he went to school. On return to Namibia as a teenager his love for the Namibian wildlife grew and later on he attended the Port Elizabeth University studying “Psychology and Anthropology” but soon realized that this was not his calling and joined the museum in Bloemfontein where he discovered his “passion” for taxidermy and started his career.
