Hello Csnakes03,
Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
I agree with most of the advice for you that has already been offered by others.
And, I will add my +1 endorsement of Ontario Hunter’s recommendation for the Air Tag.
Without an Air Tag in each of our bags and carry-ons, we might never had recovered a lost bag, upon arriving at our final Airport.
The airline / airport employees insisted our missing bag was not in their airport, claiming that they had searched thoroughly (lies).
Our little digital screen showed it nearby.
It moved once while we were having our repeated and frustrating conversations with the morons.
Lowe and behold, I ended up finding it, tucked in a corner, not quite visible, unless one was to walk almost close enough to kick it.
It appeared to me that, perhaps an employee had stashed it there, intending to take it home at the end of their shift.
That seemed possible but not very likely, as it was in the public baggage area and not back in the secured area, behind locked doors.
I believe most likely that, some weary traveler fetched it by mistake.
Then upon discovering their careless error, went back for their real bag, tossing ours aside, instead of putting it back where they got it.
The place where I found it was at a different baggage carousel than the one for our flight.
It was dropped in a corner of said carousel, exactly where the “belt” passed through a wall.
You could not see it until you were almost touching it with your toes.
Anyway, the air tag in it saved the day for sure.
Moving right along, if you’re an archer, by all means bring your own tackle.
But if passing through The Netherlands, do research their laws regarding razor tipped arrows, knife restrictions and soforth.
In fact some other countries (including The Soviet Socialist Republic of New Youk) seem to enjoy constantly changing their laws, regarding travel with sporting goods.
Meanwhile if you’re a rifle type hunter (me too), I seriously recommend renting a rifle from your safari company.
Crossing international borders with a firearm no longer appeals to me, due to many airline employees across Europe being hateful elitist anti-hunter types who have harassed me for the last time.
I will keep my airport gun tax money (extortion money) and they can keep their mean spirited computer tricks.
At any rate, I predict that you will turn a double back flip when you first set foot in the African bush.
And so, I shall look forward to your hunt report.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
