Climate:

Hunting season:
A basic medical kit is always at hand and in every hunting vehicle. Telephone and radio communication are available in case of emergency. Some safari areas are high malaria risk areas – consult your doctor prior to your travel for the necessary precautions.
It is recommended to always carry copies of your travel documents with you and leave personal / important / valuable items with your outfitter for safekeeping in a designated safe.
Customs, visas and insurance:
Customs clearance is operative at your port of entry into all various safari countries. Please advise us or your travel agent for detailed info and requirements for each country. Insurance on personal effects, luggage and medical evaluation is recommended.
Arms and ammunition:
Import and export permits are needed for all firearms. Assistance with permits is available. A minimum caliber of 375 or higher is recommended for big game and dangerous game. For a medium game the 300 and 30-06 calibers are sufficient. Hunters should bring both soft and solid point ammunition.
A good quality scope with variable power (1.5-6×40) is recommended. A soft case for your rifle is required for transportation on safari vehicles. Bow hunting is welcome and a great challenge.
