Sunguti Safari’s offers a daily rate to rent one of our rifles for your hunt that can be cheaper than bringing your own. If, however, you would still like to bring your own, you are more than welcome to do that.
If you are familiar and comfortable with working your way through the necessary forms and have the proper equipment to transport your rifle please review the information below to get started.

Visitors bringing firearms into South Africa for hunting purposes, will be asked to fill out a SAP 520 – Temporary Import Application which is available from your outfitter, or which can be downloaded off the SAPS website at www.saps.gov.za/crime_prevention/firearms/impor_info.htm, or which can be filled out on arrival.
We would suggest filling in the form beforehand to save the processing time at the Police Office.
The following firearms and Ammunition will not be allowed to Enter South Africa:
- Any automatic or semi-automatic firearm
- More than one firearm per caliber per person
- More than 200 rounds of ammunition per person per firearm
