The firearm travel agent that my outfitter in South Africa had recommended does not appear to be in business any longer. I would appreciate any recommendations ya’ll might have (Im in Minnesota, USA). Thank you in advance!
 
The two most often used:

Jennifer from @TRAVEL EXPRESS, they utilize Henry from rifle Permits. Great reviews.

Gracy Travel, recommend Shawn Kennedy, they use Bruce on the ground in Johannesburg for rifle permit process, he’s really good, just used Gracy Travel and Bruce.

I have used Gracy Travel for all of my African trips and will continue to do so going forward.
 
I use @TRAVEL EXPRESS and am very happy with them. I previously used Gracy and had small problems every trip from lack of attention to detail. Gracy’s people on the ground in Johannesburg are excellent but they aren’t providing any service on the ground Africa Sky or Rifle Permits doesn’t do equally well.

On my last Africa trip I used Jennifer at Travel Express. I was so impressed with her expertise that I won't be using anyone else.

Give us a shout, and we'd be happy to chat with you about what we offer. We'll be in the office Monday next week, but then closed for the holidays.
 
@franzfmdavis - Travel with firearms is one thing, firearms temporary import for hunting is another.

@TRAVEL EXPRESS for traveling with firearms and getting flights booked.
@riflepermits.com for what to do in each country you will be landing and hunting in. They can arrange a variety of services.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
