I should of mentioned that on our return trip we had a little over 2 hours from arriving from Port Elizabeth to flying out of Johannesburg and we didn't have much time to spare by the time we went to baggage claim, picked up the rifles, rechecked the bags and dropped the rifles off at the SAP's office.
Also expect extra security at your gate when flying back to the US. They were checking every passenger and their carry on baggage which added to the short time to get onto the plane, but we made it with some time to spare.
Whoever you pick for your rifle permits will meet you once you leave the secured area from picking up your rifles on your return trip and then escort you to the check in desk and then over to the SAP's office to drop off the rifles, but baggage claim and where you pick up the rifles are close together but it takes time. We were also required to take the ammo out of our checked bags in Port Elizabeth for the flight to Johannesburg but were able to place it back into the bags for the trip home. The ammo box will arrive with your rifle case at the SAP's office near baggage claim.
