[QUOTE="tydaws, post: 3075856, member: 95798"] Thank you for the advice. We are currently in the process of planning a family safari to South Africa for June 2025, so we have a bit of time. We are going to try to fly Delta out of Atlanta direct to Johannesburg. I'm hoping this will alleviate a lot of the headaches that you outlined above. We are also planning to utilize a travel agent that specializes in safari planning & also the folks at riflepermits.com to help with importing our rifles in Johannesburg. This all may be unnecessary, but when compared to the cost of the trip, the add on cost for theses services is peanuts. We are NOT experienced international travelers, much less with rifles, so I think it is a safe or safer bet to utilize some of the specialty services available, especially for our first trip to Africa. Lots of people recommend using rental rifles & I'm sure that is a good option for many folks. However, I want to take my rifles. Like many or most on this forum, I've spent a considerable about of money and time getting setup exactly that way I want with custom rifles, highly tuned and tested load development, hours in the field practicing with MY rigs, etc. I just don't think the experience would be the same for me if I didn't use the rifles that I love so dearly.
