What is most commonly done with daily medications traveling to SA (or overseas in genera)?
I have read to bring your original prescription bottles and have a note of medical necessity, as well as prescriptions for essential medications.
A prepoured weekly pill box is probably a part of most of our lives....do you bring one in your carry on, or do you have to be able to prove what you have ? We arent talking any narcotics or anything, but blood pressure meds, diabetic meds, etc.
 
Np problem at all...just bring the presciption in case...

Take RX in their bottle and everything else doesn’t matter. If there is trouble in Africa a good argument and a few $ will solve most any misunderstanding. Don’t over think it. Check out my videos in safari planning section.
 
I have made 3 trips. Believe me I have a medicine bag! I have all meds including prescription meds(in there original bottles) in one bag inside my carry on. Never an issue. I do also have a daily pill box in my carry on or shirt pocket. Never an issue. I just put it in my carry on when going thru security checks.
 
I have made copies of my Rx’s and retained them in my “important document file” that I travel with. This will scotch me, if checked. However, I’ve never been checked for my drugs/Rx’s. I use the weekly style pill box holders to hold my daily dose of meds. I travel with my med in my carry on luggage. Don’t want me and my daily meds to get separated with traveling.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
