For help in planning your own Africa adventure, we strongly recommend AFRICAN ODYSSEY. Bringing firearms into an Africa country is often weird, complex kabuki, and Elaine understands how this all works. In addition, I strongly suggest you pay AFRICAN ODYSSEY for a “minder” at the airport of your arrival…it will save you hours and ulcers!
