Passport question

[Docbar]

Do I need to carry my passport while in the field hunting in South Africa?

 

[Andrew62]

No, I leave mine locked in my gun case in my room while out hunting.

 

[Doug3006]

Not at all.

If you decide to leave your original passport at the main camp while you’re out in the bush take a copy of your passport with you in the bush. Make at least three copies of your passport; keep one with you, keep one in your home files, and leave one with your family. I contact the embassy of the country/countries I’m hunting and let them know my outfitter and in-country travel plans.

Great advice! Thanks!

No....and the answers above are correct and good advice...

Personally, I always take mine and keep it in a zippered pants pocket......And keep a copy in my gun case back at the lodge.

For all the African countries I’ve traveled, I leave it locked in my rifle case. I have a copy of all my pertinent ppw (passport, emergency contact, rifle permits, visa if required, invitation letter and flight info) folded into a 5x8” envelope and slid into my daypack. I also have photos of the same saved on my phone.
