Quoted: Thanks! Do you store your ammo in a pelican type case in your suitcase or will a regular box do ? |
I reload so my ammo is in a MTM box. The problem is they did not latch it closed and then dumped it into the suitcase. If you have factory ammo that box is fine. When I travel on safari its the pelican rifle case with two guns and my bino's and some clothes, bottom foam is out. i also use a pelican cube for a suitcase. Packing clothes into the heavy plastic resealable airtight bags.
You will probly need all of the info handy as to who and where you are hunting. Name address phone numbers your return tickets and passport. This is the kind of things they ask for and lots of guy have it scattered around. I seen guys hand the passports and return tickets to the wives who haul ass and this is what takes so long.
The outfitter should tell you everything you need to have. There is also a service that you can hire to move it along. I cannot think of its name as I do not use it. I've been though Joberg 3x in the last 12 years its just gotten worse every time.
Swiss Air should be a good flight. Get your doctor to write you a Rx for something to knock your ass out so you wake up or are awke when you land. I have always arrived in the mornings so it gets you more on local time less jet lag.
