Here are some helpful tips to some frequently asked questions to help you get ready for your trip to Bushmen Safaris.
Is it safe?
Yes, it is very safe. The majority of your time is on the ranch, which is quite remote. When you land in Johannesburg, our Professional Hunter, Shannon, will meet you just outside customs and then drive directly to the ranch.
Is there a specific airline or flight you would recommend?
We recommend Delta flight 204 from Atlanta arriving in Johannesburg and Delta flight 204 departing Johannesburg.
If everyone arrives on a morning flight and one person comes in on an evening flight, then others must wait to do the transfer together.
We also suggest packing your valuables (especially binoculars and rangefinder) in your carry-on luggage and secure any checked luggage with "TSA Approved" locks.
Any advice on traveling to/from South Africa with children?
Please go to the following website to make sure you are following current guidelines in regards to traveling with children.
Is there anything you can bring the staff/locals?
Anything would be very appreciated and helpful. We have had anything from pocketknives, small toys and books to toothpaste and toothbrushes given to locals and they were grateful for all of it.
How do I pay my bill?
Our preferred method of payment is by check. We accept major credit cards - Visa, MasterCard, American Express but payments made will incur a 3% processing fee.
After the $2,500 deposit, you do not owe anything until you return from your hunt. You will review your total charges in Africa and sign an “IOU” that will be sent to our Stateside office.
What items will you add the 15% VAT?
VAT tax is only added onto daily rates (transportation days are excluded). If the hunter is taking part of the animal home, trophy fees will not have VAT added.
How many people will be in hunting camp?
There are typically six hunters in camp.
What options does the non-hunter have?
In addition to our superior on-site accommodations and photo and video opportunities, there is also nearby activities such as spa services and a lion tour. We can also help plan park tours at the amazing Kruger National Park, golfing at Sun City, and shopping and wine tasting in and around Cape Town. These trips are typically anywhere from 3-7 days
