🛡️ Safety First, Always
Hippopotamuses are majestic, sensitive beings. Their transport requires more than crates and permits — it demands reverence. That’s why we’ve built a delivery protocol that prioritizes:
• Animal welfare at every stage
• Stress-reduction techniques during transit
• Specialized enclosures designed for comfort and calm
• 24/7 monitoring from departure to arrival
We work closely with veterinarians, behavioral experts, and international regulators to ensure each journey is safe, legal, and emotionally sound.

📜 Compliance & Documentation
Transparency is our foundation. Every delivery includes:
• Full export/import permits
• Health certifications
• Microchip and identity records
• Legal ownership transfer documents
• Country-specific compliance packets
We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the bond you’re about to build.

The Journey: Step by Step

Here’s how your hippo travels from our Florida base to your doorstep:

1. Inquiry & Consultation

We begin with a conversation. We learn about your location, purpose, and readiness. Every placement is personal.

2. Documentation & Clearance

Our team prepares all legal documents, health records, and customs paperwork. We liaise with local authorities to ensure smooth passage.

3. Transport Preparation

Your hippo is gently acclimated to its enclosure. We use calming techniques, hydration protocols, and pre-travel health checks.

4. Global Transit

Via air or land, your hippo travels with licensed handlers and real-time tracking. You’ll receive updates at every milestone.

5. Arrival & Bonding

Upon arrival, we guide you through the first hours of connection. We offer support, care tips, and emotional integration guidance.
