700 nitroi am exempt because i am just passing through if i was to take possetion of my firearms then i would need a special permit.
700 Nitro,
Who are you hunting with and where in Botswana? Hope you have a great time and get a trophy Jumbo!

Mighty JoeNot to be negative, but did you buy insurance for your rifles? Airlines will not even begin to cover the loss. Those are toooooo nice to chance. Have a super time.
