"Registrar of firearms" website does not appear to be working.
If you can find contact information they are the responsible.

Hi Garry,

You will need a import license. I will contact one of our few licensed firearm dealers and try and put the two of you in contact with you. I could give you some guidelines, but this man is the best in his field.

Hi please contact Premeesh @ preemesh@doolabh.com
I believe this is the correct email address if not contact me feel free to use the name Tokoloshe. He will tell you the hoops that you have to jump through.

All the best in your decision to go back.

Hopefully you will be one of the first of many to return.

Hi I don't know if you have made contact with Preemesh, but a heads up on a couple of things normally 5 firearms are the most any individual is the max. A safari company may be allowed to posses more. You will need a reason for possessing. A police inspected gun safe. A import permit for each and I believe $350.00 each. Semi auto ok, but most semi auto military rifles prohibited.
Then there is the import tax possibly as a returning citizen. The import tax 40% may be different.
Cheers
