African Hunting and Photographic Safaris
FIREARMS
Antelope for Africa Safaris caters to both rifle hunters and bow-hunters.
Minimum recommendations for COMPOUND BOWS:
| Draw Weight | Arrow Weight | |
| Small game | 40 lb | 400 grain |
| Medium game | 70 lb | 550 grain |
| Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino, Hippo | 80 lb. | 700 grain |
Correct rifles and calibres for the game hunters intend hunting, should be selected. To cover a wide range of game, we recommend a scope-sighted rifle of around .30 calibre. Species of the Big Five require a minimum of .375, but preferably bigger.
Our facilities include a shooting range to do the necessary sighting of rifles and scopes.
Firearms are freely imported into South Africa on a temporary permit valid for the duration of the hunt.
***NOTE: The Firearms Control Act of 2000 was implemented on 1 July 2004. There are changes to the process for the temporary importation of firearms for hunting in South Africa and also for "in-transit" permits.
We will help our clients correctly fill out the forms and provide you with your "invitation letter".
PHASA has provided the updates for the new procedures. Click here for critical information regarding the new SAPS 520 (application for temporary import/export permit) form and instructions!!!
