Recent travel experience?

[Eric Zelanko]

Does anyone have recent experience traveling to/from Africa? Specifically, with virus testing before leaving and more importantly, testing prior to the return trip to the states?

On a second look, people with sporting goods (guns included) get an extra 15kg allowance on Airlink but there is another $20 charge for a rifle case. A PDF of baggage policies can be downloaded from the website. Isn’t there a $25.00 per rifle, per flight on Airlink as well

Lots of info in this thread.

Eric there are a few posts about recent hunts. When is your trip? How are you flying?
I have heard of several using Covid Consultants which is a concierge service that is quite expensive but seems to get fast negative test results for folks.

Looking at flying to Namibia on Ethiopian Airlines late April and returning early May. Am curious if anyone has done testing there before the return flight. Testing before leaving the US seems to be fairly easy to obtain in the required timeframe. Also interested in anyone's experience with Ethiopian Air in general as we've not flown with them before.

I can answer about the Ethiopian part. They area a legit and fairly top notch airline. I have flown with them once before, and will do so again this September. Quite a few members here used them last fall when travel opened back up as well.

rifle is shot in, bags are almost packed, and prc test scheduled for Monday. Headed to Namibia from IAD on Thursday with Ethiopian Air.

Most miserable part has been locating a testing center that guarantees results in the necessary timeframe.

Will update when possible of travel experience.
