I am pretty sure that Air 2000 will assist you with firearm permits and reserving a hotel in Capetown. I have used them many times in the past. We flew the same United flight (without guns) 2 years ago. It is a much smaller and much easier to navigate airport than OR Tambo.

Take a look at Tam safaris near Cradock in the Eastern Cape. Over 80,000 acres and some big lions. Good website.

Sorry- November 2024.

Take a look at the Kanati website (Kanati.com). They do amazing replicas. Give them photos and dimensions and they do the rest. The cost of replica tusks are about $1100 per pair and the shipping from Pennsylvania to your US address should be a fraction of the shipping cost from a taxidermist in...

I completed the tiny 10 with John X with Carl van Zijl and Ed Wilson and can highly recommend John X. Most of them were in the Eastern Cape but in several areas. Coastal area for blue duiker, oribi and cape grysbok. Great Karoo for the mountain species. Natal for red duiker and suni. Namibia for...

Thanks very much!

It sounds like it but their website also says that if load limits of the plane are exceeded the extra baggage (not sure if they mean overweight or extra bags) will be shipped as cargo on the next plane. Since there are only 3 flights per week that could be a problem for us. It would be nice if...

Thanks. We are spending the night at the Windhoek Country Club with ground transfer the next morning to the international airport for our Lufthansa flight home. FlyNamibia says you can pay extra for your checked bag over 20 kg up to 32 kg but they don’t mention whether you can pay for an extra bag.

Does anyone have any experience with this airline’s baggage policies? We are hunting in Caprivi in a few weeks and will fly from Katima Murillo airport on Fly Namibia to Windhoek Eros airport then back to the US. Their website says the limit is 1 checked bag per traveler (20 kg limit) and 1...

One of the teachers heard the noise of the shooter crashing his grandmother’s truck into a ditch adjacent to the school. She went out a door to see what caused the noise and propped it open so she could return through the same door. Completely against school policy and a terrible mistake...

Joburg is over 5,000 feet in elevation. Capetown is at sea level. Takes more fuel to take off at the higher altitude.

The CDC has a vaccination record called v-safe which is designed to track vaccination reactions. It will send you a record of the dates and types of your covid vaccinations with QR code. Free.

Thanks. Where in south Texas are your located? I grew up in Frio county and still have a ranch there.
