Still working on getting flights for July that aren’t going to break the bank.

Has anyone flown into Cape Town. Is the procedure that same as JBurg? Is there a guest house to stay at like Africa Sky or Afton House. As we would have to fly back out to Port Elizabeth.
 
WE HAVE HAD OUR JUNE FLIGHTS BOOKED FOR 7-8 MONTHS. RIFLEPERMITS.COM IS GOING TO HELP US THRU CUSTOMS, THEY MIGHT HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR OVERNIGHTS.
 
I saw something from SCI that to go through Cape Town you MUST have pre approved gun permits. Rifle Permits or Air2000 should be able to help you out.
 
There has to be a million and one guest houses and hotels in capetown
Hunters havent been flying in there directly for long so no known hunter dedicated places like afton etc yet
Just look on booking.com
 
PE is a neat town... neat area, too. I think you'll like it.
 
We are looking at doing this for our trip in 2025, curious to hear more on the rifle process as well
 
Bumping this thread, flights are booked and working out logistics of being in Capetown with rifles, anyone with first hand experience please chime in

RIFLEPERMITS.COM CAN TAKE CARE OF GETTING THEM THROUGH CUSTOMS.

There is also a direct flight from Dulles to Cape Town as an option.
 
I believe I received an email that Afton either has opened or has plans to open another Afton in Cape Town.
At their booth at the SCI Convention, I seem to remember seeing Afton saying it was now open. They are showing it on their website.

Last year, my brother in law flew into Cape Town and then caught an Airlink flight from there direct to Port Elizabeth. Other than being an early morning flight, it was fine.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
