Today South Africa is both a politically safe and stable country. Sadaka Safaris is very family friendly- bring your whole family along and enjoy the beauty of Africa. On your arrival at the international airport of Johannesburg, you will be met by Ewert, or one of Sadaka Safaris team members, and transported to our base camp.
Most nationalities don't need a visa to enter South Africa as a tourist, providing the stay does not exceed 30-90 days. You will need a valid passport that will not expire within 6 months of your stay and you need four blankconsecutive pages in it for endorsements.
For further information and a list of visa requirements, please see South African Department of Home Affairs web site.
All arms should be transported in shock-proof rifle cases. We recommended that you bring your own rifles with which you are familiar. Pack ammo separate from guns, in locked metal container. Pack it so that it can be reached easily, for you will have to take it out for inspection. Sixty (60)rounds per gun would be enough.
No Semi Automatic Rifles. No Rifles of the same caliber per person.
Clients bringing fire arms into South Africa for hunting purposes, will be asked to fill in a Temporary Import Application Form (SAP 520) can be completed before arrival in order to save precious time.

Please remember to use black ink only and DO NOT sign it until you are in the presence of an official at the airport. Once a temporary import permit is issued, it is valid for that individual only, the required minimum age is 21 years of age. They are issued for a period of no longer than six (6) months.
No more than two hundred (200) rounds of ammunition capable to be fired by the firearm may be imported. It must be packed in a hard container. Application for a temporary import permit will be processed without any costs.
Whenever the holder of the temporary import permit leaves the Republic of South Africa, the firearm in respect of which the permit was issued must accompany the holder of the permit.
If any changes are made in respect of firearm requirements we will notify you in due course. We would recommend to use the Phasa service to assist you with this whole procedure.
At Sadaka Safaris we have a fully- trained and experienced nurse being part of the team and living on site, ensuring any First-aid and care is well-provided. South Africa has some of the best doctors and hospitals in the world. So if you need to be hospitalized you will be in good hands. Make sure you get travel insurance since quality healthcare is not cheap.
Sadaka Safaris and surrounding areas are completely malaria-free.
