Hunters can enter South Africa via either Oliver Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) or flying into Cape Town International Airport. From both these points of entry, a domestic flight will need to be taken to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). The domestic flight time is approximately 1,5 to 2 hours. These flights are most pleasant and affordable, and airlines are used to transporting firearms. Airlink for the inland domestic flight is recommended.
If time permits, we suggest extending the hunting safari to include an escape to further explore areas of the Eastern and Western Cape.
