Hi guys. Can anyone tell me the best way to get to Botswana from Australia without transiting in South Africa. I want to avoid the hassle of getting a temporary South African firearms permit just transit to Botswana and later back again through South Africa.
 
You can fly Ethiopian or Qatar. They both have a good reputation for flying with guns. i agree with your sentiment but I do check into price and schedule and then decide how I will get there. For instance, next year I am going to Zim once again and wanted to skip JNB. My TA found a half price deal on Qatar business but we have to transit JNB.
 
Thank you Philip

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
