Ditto on @TRAVEL EXPRESS and fly Delta to JNB and overnight there at City Lodge. Use @riflepermits.com to help expedite your rifle clearance. Or use their VIP service to bypass the slow-slow customs/immigration lines at JNB. It's worth the $100 or so. The SAPS form is long. Get your US forms CBP 4457 done ahead of time as you need it for the SAPS paperwork and also to bring your firearms back into the US.
When you check in for the AirLink flight to East London, it's a simple 16 step process. You'll start at a domestic check in counter and they will tell you to take your rifles and ammo over to the customer service counter, where there may or may not be anyone working there. After you get done there, you take your rifle and ammo to the Firearm / Weapon Check-in Police office. The policeman won't have a pen, so bring a couple extra and leave him one. This is an actual photo, pay attention and don't make a wrong turn. Use AirTags in your rifle case and ammo case.
