We are flying into capetown before our safari for a couple days to sight see before we fly into Port Elizabeth for our safari. We hired gracy travel and they are putting us up in a motel that will let us keep our guns In our room. Anybody do anything similar? I'm a little nervous after reading some of the crime that occurs between the airport and capetown. Any advice or Insight? Thanks
 
I’ve never left them in the room. Always stayed at a boutique hotel with a walk in safe. Are they safer there, or just gives me a false sense of security? IDK.

Never had any issues
 
I stayed at hotels that Debbie via Gracy setup for me in Cape Town and other spots. It was all good. Felt secure. A little weird not having rifles with me in room, but was without issue.
 
Working with Gracy as we speak for the same thing! One night on the way to Namibia and two nights on the way back.

Did they have a special room for your firearms? What hotel did you stay at?
 
Afton Safari Lodge in Cape Town would hold your rifles for you while you toured around. They helped me tremendously in Joberg a few months ago; holding my rifles in their vault.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
