| A couple of years ago I saw people plastic wrapping their luggage in the airport. The only negative is one time I had to open my baggage during check in so they could check everything. Good Hunting, |

| As I recall, it's not too expensive. I've also seen it at the airport in Windhoek as well. |

| They had one in Harare last year when I was there. If memory serves me correctly, the charge was $10 for a duffel bag.

| I just got back from Jo berg on Firday morning early. Yes there was a shrink wrap vendor in Jo berg. We left Vic falls at one point in the trip to go to Hwange for a few days and the charter out fit kept the extra bags after they were shrink wrapped. The charge was $5.oo US. I thought it was a good deal for peace of mind. Make sure you will not need to get back in them before arrival at your destination. |

| Gday Gents. Please excuse my ignorance as I havent travelled for quite a while, but why do you get your luggage shrink wrapped? Is it for security reasons? Im interested as I will be hunting in zimbabwe and namibia this year. |

| It's a deterrent to the thieves in the baggage hall and aircraft holds etc........ admittedly not much of one but any deterrent is better than nothing huh!

| Since the airport thieves can easily split the zipper on your locked luggage with a simple pen in just a few seconds, take out what they want, "re-zip" your luggage and go their merry way with your valuables, any deterrent like the shrink wrap around your luggage is useful. Do I understand that there is shrink wrap availability in Vic Falls? |
