We are heading to Kimberly RSA to hunt plains game and then heading to Cape Town for Memorial Day weekend at the end of May. Any Cape Town rifle friendly hotels that will secure your rifles? Any pointers for Cape Town? Thanks
 
Will you be flying back to Jo'burg before going to Cape Town? If so, there are a number of outfits who will store your rifle for you until you get back to Jo'burg. It will cost you some $, but I think I'd rather have my rifle locked up in a nice safe and have a receipt in my hand, then to have the rifle "disappear" in Cape Town and have to explain that to SAPS when trying to leave the country.
 
There are regulations in regard to rifle storage. You can't legally travel around with one as a tourist when visiting SA. Check with you PH and get his recommendation re Storage.
Cape Town is an excellent choice. I always stay in Camps Bay.
If Table Mountain is clear of clouds GO STRAIGHT AWAY. It can change in hours and never be clear again.
 
I hunted buff and PG for a week last July, then my family joined me for another week of photo touring and a Cape Town tour (which was fantastic btw). My PH stored my guns for that week and met us at the OR Tambo Delta check-in with my rifles for our departure.
