HUNTING

Planning your Safari

In planning a trip there are a couple of aspects to keep in mind.
*How many days.
*The species that you wish to hunt
*Type of safari
*Travelling with a friend or partner or your family
*Time of year

We recommend that hunters travelling from Europe will come on a 7-day safari with 5 hunting days. The recommendation for hunters travelling from the USA is a 9-day safari with 7 hunting days (minimum). There will be no hunting on Sundays; it will be used to do sightseeing, reading, spending time at the pool or whatever you prefer. The species that is on your list is also important in planning your days in Africa. Once you have decided on the species you wish to hunt, we will recommend the time required. If you are not travelling alone, what are the interests of the rest in the group? Game hunting and dove and pigeon hunting can be done throughout the year. The game bird season is from the 1st of May up to the 31st of August.

Travelling with rifles and ammunition

Firearms have to be in a lockable firearms case and Ammunition needs to be in a separate lockable Ammo case. No ammunition allowed in baggage—only certain airlines allow it. Ammunition case can’t be more than 5 Kg / 11 Pounds. No liquids, cameras or wiring are allowed in the firearms case.

NO AMMUNITION ALLOWED IN LUGGAGE IN SOUTH AFRICA—ONLY IN A SEPARATE LOCKABLE AMMO CASE.
You must declare that you are travelling with firearms when checking in your luggage at the airport

It is very important to make sure that the Airline you are using does transport firearms.
