Firtsly get your Outfitter to email/fax or post an invitation to hunt on agreed dates.
Go onto the SAP (South African Police) website and download an Import Licence for a firearm.
Fill the relevent sections in, and on arrival at, I assume Jberg go to the Police Firearms Office.
Hand over:
1) Your Passpost (Original)
2) Your Firearms Certificate (Original)
3) Your Letter of Invitation
4) Print out of your flight details.
They will then check your Serial Numbers against you certificate.
They will photo-copy everything and hand back all originals to you, along with your Import Licence.
If like me you are taking an internal flight, you need to check in then take your gun(s) and ammo to the Domestic Firearms Police along with your Import Licence.
Again they will check Serial Number against Import Licence, then they are responsible for getting your gun and ammo onto your plane.
A word of warning, having done 6 trips the only hassle I have is with the Domestic Firearms Police.
Although they are not Police in the real sence, theY are Group 4 Security, they are always asking for a "Back Hander" Dollars or Rand.
I always say that I have no change just Traveller Cheques.
If you have trouble filling in the form from SAP, PM me and I will forward one that I use as a template.
Good Hunting.
