Flights & Traveling to Africa

Airline Reservations:

We suggest the use of a Travel Agent to book your flights to Africa. Travel agents can recommend the best options and they have your back when you need to make changes, in stead of dealing direct with an airline. If you have your preferred travel agent we suggest you make use of them, as you trust their services already. Airlines can change their itineraries often so it would be advisable to get the airline app as to stay in touch with flight schedules while travelling.

We have a preferred travel agent in South Africa that we would suggest if you would like to use a local travel agent. If you would like us to assist you in making your travel arrangements, please feel free to contact us so we can provide you with their contact information.

Travelling with firearms:

Travelling to South Africa or Namibia with your own firearms is relatively easy, however there is a little bit of paperwork involved. We have a person at the airport in South Africa and Namibia, that will assist us with the paperwork before and upon your arrival and this ensures a smooth process. We will assist you through the entire process!

Covid-19:

As we have all been affected by the Covid-19 restrictions, travel is no exception. It has however over the last 6 months become much easier to travel around the world. At the moment the ONLY requirement for travelling to Africa is a negative Covid-19 PCR test that needs to be done within 72 hours prior to departure from the country of origin. Once in camp with us we will take you for a Covid test here within 72 hours before your departure back home. As it stands at the moment this is the only requirement for travelling to Africa.

For Travel insurance:

We recommend travel insurance to all our guests travelling to Africa. This is for peace of mind knowing that you are covered while travelling overseas. You can get more information here:

Global Rescue:

We have an affiliation with the Global Rescue company. They will provide field rescue and medical evacuation service worldwide, in the event of a very serious injury. Although our private hospitals in Africa are of the same standard as in the USA, this just offers the added option should you wish to be relocated back home in such an event.
