Finalizing airfare for an upcoming trip to South Africa with my 13yo daughter. If we finish things early, and want to use our time abroad, was toying with the idea of staying over a night or two somewhere on our return...but will of course have two firearms with us. With that, leaning away from Amsterdam (KLM), which leaves easiest options of Doha (Qatar) or Paris (Air France), or possibly London. Brief internet search seemed to paint Doha as the easiest option, granted I haven't searched yet to see what all might interest a 13yo girl or safety, but since I need to finalize things relatively quickly, wanted to at least ask here for any first-hand advice.

Plan is to book airfare as if staying the entire time, and if we decided to depart early, we would just advance the flight from JNB and keep our original connecting allowing whatever additional time elsewhere.

Cheers and thanks in advance for any helpful insight.

Have you considered staying in JNB at Africa Sky or Afton House and exploreing outside Joberg? Then no flight changes are necessary and both guest houses will store your firearms....
 
I second what Mekaniks suggested above.

My wife and I will be spending three days visiting Victoria Falls at the tail end of our safari. We will be storing my firearms at Africa Sky.

Traveling through Europe with firearms might be a challenge, let alone staying there for a few days with firearms.
 
You need a good travel agent to help make this decision. Traveling with a rifle is not difficult if you follow protocol. Have a great safari!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
