MOZAMBIQUE GENERAL INFORMATION.

Medical
Mozambique requires a YELLOW FEVER vaccination. Malaria is a possibility so we recommend all clients to take Malarone for the duration of their stay in Mozambique.

Firearms
It is possible to hire firearms, however we strongly recommend clients to bring their own rifles, shotguns and ammunition. Clients hiring weapons will be charged $40 per day, regardless of calibre or make. (The client will be charged for the duration of his safari when hiring firearms.)  This does not include ammunition which will be charged separately. On arrival in Mozambique a temporary import permit will be issued once your firearm(s) and ammunition have been physically inspected by customs officials. It is essential that you state the exact amount of ammunition you will be bringing into the country.

Clients who transit through South Africa on their way to us will have to complete firearms forms for this country. We recommend using Air 2000 to ensure that this process goes smoothly and without incident.

For dangerous game such as elephant, buffalo and lion, calibres of .375 or bigger must be used.

For soft skinned animals, any weapon in the 7mm or .38 / .300 range may be used. Forty rounds of each calibre should be sufficient. For the heavier calibre weapons we prefer a mixture of solid and soft nosed ammunition whilst just soft nose bullets are preferred for the lighter calibre weapons. Trophy bonded, Swift A-Frame or Barnes X are good choices.
