I don't wish to start a flame, but can anyone give me any Suggestions on a few good Handgun Hunting Outfitters in Africa?? Preferably ones with websites?? ALSO, Am I correct in my understanding that handgun hunting is permitted ONLY in South Africa?? If so, any chance that Namibia will legalize handgun hunting in the near future?? Thanks, Bill.

C&R Bill,

As you may know, RSA has just instituted some new firearm regs effective July 1 that may very well impact you, depending upon what you plan to use. I would contact Anne @ Air 2000 by e-mail (anne@air2000.com) to get the details. We just got back on July 2, and I understand the new regs are causing some confusion, both with hunters and the authorities @ JIA. Anne was very helpful in getting us through SAP and on our way within a few minutes of our arrival. They didn't even check our ammo.

Also, some handgun hunters I have hunted with use Madubula Safari's with great success. They have taken quite a few SCI No. 1 animals with handgun hunters, especially T/C Encores. Their web site is www.madubula.com.

Good luck with your plans.

I certainly would recommend Roy Wormald at www.wormaldhunting.com

I've been there several times.

One of my hunting buddies hunted successfully with a pistol (T/C Contender in .44 RM) with Bush Africa Safaris:

If it remains legal to hunt with a handgun in RSA either a contender or a Revolver your're welcome to hunt with us in 2005. We only take a limited number of hunters for our natural wild game. I have had archery muzzleloaders and handguns many times in our camp.
And I do have a web site: www.huntingadventures.net

Try Bowker Safaris.

C&R Bill,

Last October we had a client take the first mt. nyala ever taken with a handgun. It IS legal in Ethiopia. No one has tried it on East Arican plains game there as of yet.

Another country where you can use a pistol is Zimbabwe. I think you can in Zambia as well, but I'm not 100% certain.

You can hunt legally, with a handgun or bow, in Mozambique including all DG .

When specifically do you want to hunt

Thanks for all the replies. Are you sure about Zimbabwe, I thought "Bob" was ultra paranoid about any handguns coming into his little fiefdom!!
I was basically just curious about where African handgun hunting is legal, although a dream hunt would be for kudu & buffalo!!! Thanks, Bill.
