Yep, I went out in May, in addition you will need letter from your Outfitter inviting you to shoot etc..

There was a great post on here the other day, some clever bloke listed all the steps and what you need as there was some discussion around needing a Export Licence from UK customs or something, have a scan through and you will find it.

Some are saying that you need a proof of export from uk which you ask for at the uk customs check out but I wasn't asked for it at Joburg. You need passport ,FAC & SAPS 525 form filled out but only sign it in front of the guy at Joburg. Also take a torch , pen and photo copies of FAC & passport in case they have a power outage as happened to me a year ago ! Have fun. Rupert

I WAS asked at Jo'burg for export paperwork in March, I did have it and it was freely given at Heathrow without asking for it!
