Vaughan FultonAdvice Firearm travel Botswana
Dear Host, moderators and fellow members,
Please advize me on the requirements for hunters travelling from Vic Falls, Zimbabwe through Kasane, Botswana to Caprivi region with rifles and ammo. This would be entry and exit from Botswana on the same day.
Thank you in advance

Andrew McLarenVaughan,
I'm not sure of the latest, but a lot of South African hunters going to Namibia take rifles through Botswana. The legalities are arranged by Mr Mike Botha of Pan African Ammunition Manufacturers (PAAM) in Gaborone. Good reports on the efficiency of the arrangements for transport permits, although a bit on the costly side, but the alternative to taking the Trans Kalahari Highway from Johannesburg to Windhoek is a L-O-N-G drive! The last telephone number I had for Mike is +267 392 8642
Hope this helps. Please send my regards to Mike.

One cannot cure:Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

McCraySince the BDF thinks that Botswana owns all the game in the Caprivi...I suspect it would be more difficult than necessary!
