Great info, thanks very much!! I had a couple of mates of mine booked on BA from VIc falls to JBErg. They found out the hard way about the no gun policy! They managed to buy another couple of seats on the SAA flight and then made the connection to OZ from JBErg, with guns arriving safely as well! Nick | |||

What about Kasane, Botswana?? SA still doesn't list this destination on either their permitted or prohibited lists. I flew there with firearms for an Elephant hunt with Karl Stumpfe. When making airline reservations I found that this destination wasn't listed on either list then and apparently things still haven't changed. I called SAA and it took them a day or two to get back to me with the info. that it was OK to fly with firearms to Kasane. Looks like they still haven't updated their list to include this destination. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

strange too that some of Airlinks flights go to Kasane via Maun, which is approved. and Maun is where you get off the plane on that flight and clear Botswana customs! Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||
