ZIMBABWE: Once Upon A Time With Mapassa Safaris

[PARA45]

Thank you! I'm hunting the Eastern Cape next year, and the ammo has to fly separately and not inside my checking luggage. I'm looking at taking 2 bxs of 20 rounds of 416 Rigby, and 2 boxes of 20 rounds of 300 H&H. I believe SA only allows 80 total rounds per traveler. I need to double check on that. Thanks again!

You can confirm with Henry of rifle permits but I doubt that you are limited to rounds I think weight is more the issue. Sport shooters bring their own ammo when competing.

Agree with @Frederik , @PARA45 book the VIP service with Henry’s and enjoy being picked up at the airplane door, go through the passport check in VIP lane and have no real questions asked when doing the SAPS weapons and munition check. You’ll likely not even need to show a serial number! For the money it is a great piece of mind.

I’ve only had my rounds counted in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Only upon entry too.

I did use the Africa Sky services the last time I was in SA, and planning on using them again this year. Thank you gents!
