		INFO
Safari Insurance: You are required to make personal arrangements for your own personal travel, hunting and medical insurance before you travel. Insurance is an important item that you should consider prior to your safari. Among the different kinds of insurance's to consider are: Baggage insurance, Travel Insurance, Trip Cancellation / Interruption Insurance and Medical Evaluation Insurance. Your local insurance agent or travel agent can assist you with these. We recommend that you have travel, medical and personal insurance. Languages: South Africa has 11 official languages. English is the language of administration and is spoken throughout the country. The other official languages are: Afrikaans, Tswana, Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho,Tsongo, Venda and Swazi. We speak English or Afrikaans. Temperatures: Temperatures during the days are normally very pleasant. June to August are our winter months with the middle of June through the beginning of August as the coldest. Temperatures may range from freezing at night to the 60's (20 C) in the day time. As you can see, early mornings and evenings tend to be cold, so don't forget to bring a jacket and gloves. South Africa experiences summer rainfall, usually November to March, so early and late season hunts can expect some rain. The North West Province has very little rainfall during the winter. In 22 years we once had a thin layer of snow. Health: South Africa is a relatively "soft" country when it comes to health risks as the medical facilities are world class, with many excellent hospitals, clinics and private practices throughout the country. However, all medical treatment must be paid for at the time of service, so you should purchase a Travel Insurance for your stay. Tap water is safe to drink throughout South Africa. There are no immunizations required to enter South Africa. A Tetanus Booster (be sure yours is up to date prior to your departure) and Hepatitis A, have been recommended by local Health Departments. The North West Province is Malaria-free. Visitors to the Northern part near Zimbabwean border, Kruger National Park and KwaZulu-Natal are advised to take Malarial Prophylaxis at least a week before visiting these areas. Sufferers of specific allergies and ailments should ensure that they bring their own medications and prescriptions. (As your prescriptions can be refilled in South Africa it might be a good idea if you had your doctor write an additional prescription for your medications in the event that you lose yours or if you run out while you are here). Don't forget suitable headwear for sun protection and sun protection creams and remember physical health awareness, as changes in routine could have an effect on your health. Safety: South Africa is basically a safe place for international travelers. However, it's sensible to take normal precautions while traveling, particularly when spending some time in built-up urban areas. Avoid the unnecessary display of valuables, such as jewelry, cash or audio/visual equipment. The use of travelers' checks or credit cards is more advisable than large amounts of cash. Remember that we at Mufasa's Safaris are committed to preserving your health and safety. We will be with you the entire time of your safari, from picking you up at Johannesburg International upon your arrival until dropping you off at the airport for your departure. Electricity: Voltage in South Africa is 230 - 240 volts, 50 Hz. For your electrical items you will need a voltage converter. You will also need a plug adapter to plug your converter into the wall. The universal plugs that come with some converters indicate that they can be used in Africa. They will not work with the type of plugs that are used in South Africa. It would be best to purchase these items before you arrive. These plugs can be purchased at any K-Mart, Wal-Mart or similar type of store. Travel: Airline transportation to and from South Africa is not included with any of our safaris. Your local travel agent can assist you with these arrangements. Travel in South Africa: South Africa is geared towards travel by air and road with an extensive network of well-maintained paved roads and many domestic, as well as private charter airline services. Most parts of the North West Province are easily accessible via a well-constructed road network. Major highways are paved as are most roadways around metropolitan areas, however rural roads are seldom paved. Contrary to driving in the U.S., driving in South Africa is done in the left. There are three International Airports in South Africa; Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The Johannesburg International Airport is the arrival/departure point for Mufasa's Safaris. Rifles and ammunition: There should be no reason to purchase a new rifle for your hunt in South Africa. The rifle you use for deer hunting is probably adequate for any type of plains game you may hunt. The most important factor is your knowledge and comfort in your ability to shoot your own rifle accurately. Shot placement is more important than a large caliber rifle. Be sure to have a quality scope fitted to your rifle. We recommend that you take care in selecting an appropriate gun case for transporting your firearms as they can be exposed to harsh treatment by airline baggage handlers. To insure they arrive at your safari destination without suffering any damage make sure the case you choose includes the following: robust locks, sufficient internal padding, straps to secure the firearm, strong exterior construction, light enough to carry or is equipped with wheels. Aluminum cases such as those manufactured by Americase or Alpine are generally good choices. Temporary import permits: All visitors to South Africa are required to carry a passport that is valid for six months beyond the intended length of stay. There should be sufficient blank pages for entry stamps upon arrival. You may be requested to show a return ticket. Sporting firearms may be readily imported into South Africa. Prior to the day of your flight you will need to take a trip down the local Customs Office (usually located at all international airports) and get a Form 4457 (Certificate of Registration of Personal Effects Taken Abroad). These Custom Office are normally open 9 - 5, Monday - Friday, but it would be best to call before you go to ensure that there will be somebody available to assist you. When you go, take the guns that you will be taking to South Africa with you. This is a very easy procedure. They will sign a customs form that includes the manufacturer, model and serial number of each firearm. The reason for this form is to show the US Customs people when you return to the USA that you owned the guns prior to your departure and that you are bringing back the same guns that you took out of the country. Be sure to have that form available on your return. Since the United States does not require your sporting rifles to be registered you must have this form to show the South African Police. This will suffice as proof of ownership for the required SAP Form 311. Upon arrival in South Africa you must fill out a SAP Form 311 at the South African Police Office and a temporary firearm import permit will be issued to you. You must retain a signed copy of this permit and it must be in your possession while you are hunting. You will need to present this copy on your departure. There is no charge for this, although they can take changes with visitors. If you ask for a receipt for this charge you will probably be told, "The receipt book is full, so this time there is no charge". All firearms brought into the country must be taken out with the visitor when they depart. It is illegal to leave any firearm behind. A BIT PACKING ADVICE: Most hunts are being done during the wintertime. The weather in the winter differs from day to day. Some days it can get hot, other days it can be very cold. In the evenings, during the night and early mornings it is really cold. Remember when you get of the airplane at Johannesburg International in the wintertime, it might also be cold and windy, so make sure you have a jacket ready. Clothing should be simple, layered and of a neutral color. Khaki, Green or Olive work best. (A Khaki shade should be more of a medium rather than a very light). Camouflage clothing can be worn during actual hunts, however it is best to limit this type of clothing to just actual hunting situations. In some areas of Africa, wearing it is illegal. * Clothing: Comfortable, cotton bush clothes are recommended. Shorts and trousers, and long and short sleeve shirts. I prefer long sleeve shirts as it can be cool in the mornings and as it warms up you can always roll the sleeves up. Long pants protect you from the thorns and if you get the ones that zip into shorts you should be comfortable at any time. Don't forget your underwear and socks. * Sunscreen lotion: Don't forget suitable headwear for sun protection and sun protection creams. It can get hot and you can get sunburn. * Warm jacket: Bring at least one warm jacket for those cold mornings and a pair of gloves. You can also bring an extra sweater along for the layering affect. * Hat: You will also need a hat for protection from the sun and branches while hunting. The type you wear is based on your preference. * Sweat suit or jeans: As it gets cool in the evening, good choices would be a sweat suit or jeans and a sweater or sweatshirt. * Walking shoes: Comfortable boots or walking shoes are a must. Ankle high work great. Be sure they are well broken in prior to arrival, as blisters can ruin a safari. Remember boot socks and an extra pair of boot laces just in case one breaks. Other miscellaneous: (Personal Items) * Casual clothing for use prior to and after your safari. * You might want to bring slippers along, as the floors can be cold in the mornings and evenings. * Any medical prescriptions / medicines * Eyeglasses & sunglasses * Sun protection lotion * Lip balm * Shaving and cosmetic kit * Personal toiletries * Skin moisturizer * Personal wash cloth Locks for luggage (while in transit) Diary and pen (so much may happen, that you will want to make notes) * Binoculars * Camera equipment * Extra batteries/spare battery * Pocket knife * Volt converter (220 - 110 volt) * Flashlight * And Don't Forget Your Camera and Plenty of Film!!
