You will need Customs Form #4457 filled out and stamped by your nearest customs office. Be sure your serial numbers match exactly. Be prepared to pay the SAPS money for their drink fund when you go into their office to get your permit. It's up to you to decide whether to or not, but they will ask (it sucks). After spending 4 hours in line for your permit, is it worth another 4 hours in the complaint office. Also, you will have to wait in line for 4-6 hours to get your permit, so allow plenty of time if someone is meeting you, or if you are making a connection. Make sure your ammo is in your checked baggage and not your gun case. They will also check your ammo.
Also, you will need a motivation letter listing the game you will be taking and the firearm that will be used for each species, the outfitter and dates of hunt.
