FAQ: · CLIMATE: Our hunting season is February – November, with the best hunting period being in the winter months (April – September). In these months it is dry season in South Africa, the trees have lost their leaves and the grass planes have been grazed, making the spotting of animals easier. The day temperatures vary between 15°C - 23°C (59°F-73°F), but can sink to 0°C (32°F) at night. |
 |
 |
In the summer time (October – March) temperatures vary between 23°C - 35°C (73°F - 95°F). In November the rainy season starts and the bush is turned into a thick green carpet. This is also the time when the most game species have their young. May, April and September are the months with the most pleasant weather. |
|
· RIFLES AND AMMUNITION: For African game it would be wise to use a rifle with a minimum caliber of 7mm. Although the species, terrain shooting distances and habitat vary, we would recommend a rifle in the range 300 Win Mag to 375 H&H or any sufficiently powerful caliber in between. We suggest safari grade soft nose bullets. Please feel free to discuss your choice of rifle and ammunition before your departure. |
|
 |
· IMPORT OF RIFLES
We can provide you an import permit application form
that should be completed to be given to the customs at Johannesburg International Airport,
which will then issue you a temporary import permit.
Please note, that you will be required to return this temporary Import permit at the Airport when you check in your rifle on departure. |
|
· LANGUAGES: We have 11 official languages in South Africa, of which English is commonly spoken throughout the country. · TELEPHONE: Cellular phone networks and coverage is of a good standard. We also have our local telephone service “Telcom”. |
|
|
· CLOTHES AND WHAT TO
BRING? We would recommend light cotton clothing, but for the chilly early mornings, late afternoons and evenings in the winter months, we advise some warm clothing. · Long- and short sleeved shirts · Long- and short trousers · Ankle high hunting shoes · Casual shoes for the evenings at the camp |
|
· Warm jacket and a sweater · A day back-pack · Binoculars, sunglasses, hat and torchlight · Personal medication and sun lotion (recommended factor at least 30+) · Camera, extra films and batteries · Laundering is done on a daily basis (except Sundays), so it is not necessary to bring a too large quantity of hunting clothes. |
|
|
· VACCINATION AND MEDICAL CARE: In South Africa we have excellent doctors and hospitals. Please contact your doctor or medical adviser for information on vaccinations that would be required for your visit. As everywhere tetanus protection is recommended. · CURRENCY: The currency in South Africa is the South African Rand (R or ZAR). Credit cards can be used all over South Africa. However for payment of the safari, only traveler's cheques and cash are accepted. |
|
INSURANCE: We take every precaution to guarantee the guest’s safety and well-being, but hunting is a potentially dangerous sport. Carlo Engelbrecht Hunting Safaris cannot be held responsible or liable for any casualties, injuries or theft and thus adequate insurance coverage for yourself and your goods is very much recommended as well as a civil liability insurance. |
