I have been off and on this forum for a couple of yearsslowly putting away the funds and information to be able to go accross the posd. The hope was to be able to go with my best friend who got me started in this and my father-in-law. This past June my father-in-law who was serving in Afghanistan and was to retire this December was killed. My wife has told me in no uncertain terms "you are going to take that hunt next year". The hunt will now be me and my friend. We will be hunting with a PH he has been over with 3 times in the past.

I seem to remember SA was changing some of their gun laws that was going to require additionsal marking on firearms or some type of different temporary registration. What ever came of that, and what is required as far a firearms go at this point.

Rhys,

Go to the African hunt report forum Terry Carr has a list of changes for guns import to RSA...

Proud to be an American and thank God for our soldiers...

Rhys,
Also contact your ph, he will be able to give you all the latest information.

By all means discuss this with your PH/Outfitter. There are documents he has to see to as well so I'm sure he will make sure it's taken care of. Haven't been back since last April but licensing went very smooth then and I understand its even easier now - provided you have the right documents! Moreover though, GO!!!! Go as soon, as long and as often as you can afford... and re-examine affordability. As evidenced by the unfortunate death of your dad-in-law, sometimes waiting is more expensive than making time. Someone here (I don't know who) uses the line; "you can borrow money but you can't borrow time!" Truer words were never spoken. Good Luck my friend!
