Depends upon which country. RSA & Zim we average 3.5-4 months. Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia etc., can take longer as remote camps bring out trophies at the end of the season. It's not normal to have trophies stolen. Things can happen but that would be on the rare side. I would highly recommend you ship green salted capes and hides home. Have them mounted here as you can communicate via phone and receive updates. Freezed tanned capes and have them mounted piecemeal. What you save in African taxidermy you will lose in shipping charges. I paid $3,000 just for one mounted Lion shipment several years ago. Dip/pack will run you around $100 per animal (that is the disinfecting skins, boiling skulls process). I have Customs brokers that handle all clients shipments from Africa to here at home. They also must be accepted by a licensed Tannery or Taxidermist. Many options, but making sound choices can save headaches and money. Feel free to email me.
