GENERAL INFO

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. (When hiring a weapon client will be charged for the duration of the safari). This does not include ammunition which will be charged separately. On arrival in Zimbabwe 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. Sixty 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 medium and lighter calibre weapons. Trophy bonded, Swift A-Frame or Barnes X are good choices.

When importing weapons for your safari you will also need to have a completed Firearms Temporary Import Permit Form. We recommend that you arrive with these forms in TRIPLICATE fully completed to make things easier upon arrival in the country.  To download a copy of this form Click on the following links:

MEDICAL
Most hunting areas in Zimbabwe are Malaria areas and so we recommend that all clients take Malarone for the duration of their stay.
