I've an upcoming early morning arrival to OR Tambo and I just had a thought (rare that those are) that SAPS office hours likely don't include being open around 4am.

Anyone know what the office hours are?
 
I arrived on the Qatar flight that lands at 4AM from Doha this past year.. SAPs wasn't a problem at all.. there were 2 people working in the office when we got there.. Henry's team @riflepermits.com greeted us once we got through customs and immigration and walked us through SAPs in less than 5 minutes (no one else in line in front of us)..

Ive also arrived on a 6AM flight from Frankfurt (I don't think that flight is available anymore?).. no issues then either..
 
I was there at 4am back in June and they were open, I think that with the amount of flights coming in with hunters that they are a 24 hour station.

But then I also had Rifle Permits.com with me
 
I had the inbound flight from Doha at 4AM last year and the year before. Henry and his team from @riflepermits.com was there to meet us and we were out in less then 10 minutes with two of us. The year before I did it alone and it took more than an hour and lunch money for a few SAP officers.
The return flight wasn’t nearly as easy. I wish Henry did a check in service as well. It took Qatar nearly three hours to get two rifles and a long bow checked checked in. Almost missed our flight. The Qatar staff at LAX was more squared away to receive hunters than OR Tambo.

Ditto!

If it's out of the ordinary, go see (or email/call) Henry!

As far as I know they are open 24 hours and have been before COVID also.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
