Hunters will land at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport and from there take a domestic flight to Kruger Airport. Airlink is recommended for this flight route as this airline is not only affordable (US$ 150 to US$ 200 return), but also professional, on time and equipped to safely transport firearms.
Africa Sky Boutique is recommended for hunters spending a night in Johannesburg. Management of the hotel assists with road transfers to/from OR Tambo International. They can also deal with all rifle import permits and obtain per-clearance approvals, thus avoiding delays. For further information, see “Affiliate Services“ below.
Should hunters prefer a road transfer from Oliver Tambo Airport to the hunting lodge, Peter can arrange and the cost (depending on fuel costs at the time of booking) will be approximately US$ 800 return. The road transfer takes approximately 5 hours.
South Africa is not regulated with regards to a specific hunting season and Plains Game Hunts can take place throughout the all year. The cooler months, which run from April to October are preferred. In summer, the temperatures are just to high. The drier months see the grasses being shorter in the veld, and the bush veld not as dense, both of which allows hunters to more easily spot their prey.
The months of November through to February are also the rainy season. Rain showers and bad weather can continue for days, literally placing a “damper” on the South African Hunt.
While the provision of a suitable hunting rifle is included on this African hunt, you may want to bring your own, being familiar and knowing trajectories etc. To import a firearm into South Africa for the purpose of hunting, you will need to complete a SAPS 520 form which you can obtain online.
International hunters bringing their own rifles will need to provide copy passports, copy airline tickets, letter of invitation from Peter, proof of ownership (Customs declaration form 4457 for US citizens).
South African is renowned for its exceptional African plains game hunting options, and this hunting safari will not disappoint. Additional plains game species are available on request. Have a chat to Peter.
