The easiest way to get to South Africa is with South African Airways (SAA).
SAA offers daily flights from New York (JFK), Washington Dulles, and Atlanta Hartsfield International Airports.
You will fly into Johannesburg and can catch a connecting SAA flight to Polokwane (see map of South Africa ).
The connection flight is 45 minutes and shortens the drive from 4 & ˝ hours to 1 hour & 45 minutes.
SAA is a partner of Delta Airlines, which gives you the ability to check your luggage at your local airport and not have to collect it until your arrival in Johannesburg, South Africa.
If you are rifle hunting be sure to check out South Africa’s firearm regulations (you'll also need to download the SAPS 520 form).
Bow hunters do not need to declare any archery equipment.
Intsructions for completing the SAPS 520 form:
- Black ink must be used to fill in the form.
- The form must be left unsigned until the document is finalized in front of the police official issuing the actual permit.
- Please note that not all sections of the form apply. Visitors bringing their own firearms in for hunting purposes should concentrate on filling in the following:
- Section D – (temporary import or export permit)
- Section E – 1 – 25.4
- Section G
- Section I – Must fill in all details requested
- Section J - Do not sign until in front of police officer at firearm office
