We are situated in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It is the safest hunting destination in South Africa.
We have two international airports – Johannesburg and Cape Town. At Johannesburg or Cape Town you will clear customs and then fly domestically to Port Elizabeth. Clients are collected from the Port Elizabeth airport by safari vehicle and enjoy an easy drive inland for about two and a half hours to one of our lodges.
You will need a passport that is not going to expire for at least 6 months after your arrival back home. Also very important: 3 blank pages available for stamps. You do not need a Visa to travel to South Africa, but it is important that you check with your travel agent for all travel requirements as they do change from time to time and are different from country to country.
We will supply you with the necessary documents to apply for a temporary import permit for your weapons, valid for the duration of your stay. This document needs to be presented to the security services at customs. We will also supply you with a copy of our professional hunters license, as well as a copy of our Outfitters license, and a letter of invitation to hunt with us. These documents must be produced at Johannesburg International Airport or Cape Town Airport, customs. Please bring a proof of purchase or ownership document with your firearm.
