Sidearm? Why?
South Africa laws are quite restrictive.....be aware......no semi automatic weapons......zero
You won't be carrying any firearm if you are not hunting
First of all...... any firearm you import with you into South Africa will have to registered and cary a permit for the time you are in country......ammo as well
Your safari cost will indeed be far more than most people will admit to
I however am not shy
