Can I buy whiskey at duty free in Atl. Overnight in SA and then put booze in checked baggage for flight to Namibia the next day. There is some restrictions as both countries act as one. Thanks. | ||

Why not just purchase it at one of the duty free shops in Jo'Burg airport? They have a huge selection and pretty good prices. | |||

I just bought my Knob Creek at home and packed it in my checked bag for my trip to Zim last year.

John, I would not pack it all the way from the States. Baggage handlers can break anything that is breakable. Imagine having your luggage full of broken glass and whiskey. Buy it at the duty free and take it on as a carry-on. Works slick! Mark MARK H.

I am not sure you can purchase whiskey at duty free in SA if you are going to Namibia. They have a reciprical agreement that doesn't allow that I believe. Thanks | |||

Plus I use the excuse to buy something a little special like a 25 year old scotch. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

You can buy most of the high end single malts in Windhoek. I generally drink Dalwhinnie, Macallan, Glenlivet, etc and have no problem finding it. So either make a plan to purchase there or have your outfitter make a plan for you. Pretty simple. I have never tried to carry it in so can't help you there. In regards to sneaking it in your checked bag, remember that ALL your bags both carry on and checked are x-rayed as you leave customs in Windhoek. Anything they do not like gets pulled and your bags "inspected" and anything they do not like gets confiscated... ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

You are right.Namibia is an SADC member, iirc, and the duty free clerks look at your boarding pass and wont sell it. This happened to me. There are duty free shops on the way into the country in the airport. You can buy it there, then pack it in your checked luggage the next day.

Great! I learned something today. I've bought scotch in London and carried it all the way to Mozambique through RSA but now I remember we chartered to Mozambique. Like a dumb ass I assumed if you bought it at a duty free you could take it anywhere. I'll stash that piece of info away for the future. Mark MARK H.

First and foremost, you need to learn the correct spelling - Whisky! If you're really talking "whiskey", save the hassle and drink whatever they have in camp - it will be just as good or better .... JEB Katy, TX Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day - Robert Ruark DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Here in Ireland we spell it whiskey and it's damn good stuff ! Took a bottle of Jameson on my first trip to Namibia. To be greeted by a big poster in the car park advertising, yes you've guessed it ! Jameson whiskey. | |||

I would think any good outfitter would have a bottle of your favorite spirits on hand?? BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

They'd have to keep their bar stocked like the Whisky a Go Go. . | |||

100% correct. Bring the whisky from the US in your checked baggage. | |||

If you pack it, you still have to clear the X-Ray machine in Namibia. Depending on the attitude, time, temperature, and barometric pressure of the X-Ray nanny, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it past her. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

Aren't you allowed a certain amount( 1 liter) to bring into Namibia tax free? Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

Just got back from Namibia and bought the booze in Atlanta duty free. Put it in checked baggage at Joberg and no problem at xray entry into Namibia. 1 Liter / person is allowed. Thanks. | |||

Yes, but the challenge is, the person behind the x-ray machine flags stuff she doesn't like. You then go next door and open your bags to deal with the customs folks. Some know the law, so don't. I have noticed over the past year they have been tagging most of the oriental types as they bring in most everything they own. So I have been sailing through with things I thought might cause a problem. Worst case scenario is if they interpret your stuff as gifts or something for resale, they can demand an import duty. Generally not a lot of $$$ if they do. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||
