This is my first trip to SA. I don’t want to screw up and lose my rifle because the info on the permit wasn’t right. So it’s it better to pay for Mr X ?
 
It's been awhile since I carried firearms through Johannesburg, but he took good care of me with ingress, connecting flights and egress a couple times.

Yes. And I trust you are using a quality travel agent that specializes in traveling hunters.
 
Been doing this a long time and the only two I know of and would trust managing guns internationally are Gracy Travel https://www.gracytravel.com/ and Travel Express https://www.travelexpressagency.com/ . I would never consider anyone else.
That’s good to know. I will look at them on my Cape Buffalo hunt in 2026. I read about a travel agent in I think maybe Wisconsin, but they never returned any of my calls. So I used my trusted travel agent, who does my other travels. I know this trip is insured heavy!
 
We are staying there for the first two nights to get rested up.
Gilbert and Africa Sky are excellent.
+1 for @TRAVEL EXPRESS.

2 nights may be unnecessary, it is probably easier to just get to your destination hunt and ease into the first day or two.

My wife and I went to South Africa in 2021, my third trip. I didn’t bring rifles that particular trip, however, Covid testing requirements were in full swing. Mr. X did assist in navigating these protocols and it was evident he had great relationships in and around JNB. I think it would be money well spent for the peace of mind it would bring on a first trip to RSA.
 
I can strongly recommend

Gracy Travel & Afton house, Afton house does a great job of handling all firearms related situations.

I'll take the 375 bullets. I'm not a techie, so I can do USPS money order or Paypal?
