SA Airlink is showing that one can only travel with a firearm to Victoria Falls from South Africa. That's seems wrong, but their website has that referenced. Has anyone recently flown that route with ammunition so I can have some peace of mind for my trip in three weeks? I'm also reaching out to Gracy if they have had any issues with their clients on that route.
 
I traveled Airlink this year to Bulawayo with no problems. I doubt your experience will be any different. You just have to check your ammo box as separate luggage. It can’t be in with your main luggage. They will sort all of that out when you check in. I assume you’re laying over in SA? Firearms are $35 each both going and coming back.
 
I flew that exact flight from JNB to VFA on May 9. I booked through Shawn Kennedy of Gracy Travel and had Bruce assist us at JNB. With Bruce’s assistance, it was easy-peasy. No issues at all, as long as you abide by the rules.
 
Thanks guys. @DLSJR I'm using the same. Staying in City Lodge overnight, then fly out the next day to VF.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
