Recommended Guns & Calibers

 

A rifle in the .30 caliber range is recommended to cover a wide range of game hunting. However, for the dangerous 7 a minimum .375 caliber is recommended. A .270 to a 300WM will be good for smaller to  larger antelope. Please bring between 40 - 60 rounds of ammunition per rifle. All rifles will be sighted in on arrival to ensure accuracy. This is to ensure that rifles are as accurate as possible since lost or wounded animals are counted as an animal taken. We can offer a company rifle when needed. A selection of rifles are available to rent, unless included in your package.

 

Importation of Guns

By law a maximum of 2 rifles are allowed per person (not 2 of the same caliber). Pistols and revolvers must be specified for hunting.

 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO BRING SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS INTO RSA. This included semi-auto pistols and shotguns.
