Gun Hire

If you do not wish to bring your own weapons we offer a selection of quality rifles and shotguns for hire. Ammunition is also available.

Unfortunately more and more airlines refuse to accept guns as baggage. Recently, British Airways decided that they will no longer accept weapons and ammunition as baggage. When travelling to South Africa from Europe, we recommend that you use either Lufthansa or South African Airways. Neither of these companies have – as yet – any restrictions on carrying firearms. In any case, we strongly recommend that you check with your chosen airline, prior to booking your ticket, if they have restrictions on carrying firearms.

If for one reason or another, you prefer not to bring your own weapons, we have a selection of high quality guns that we offer for hire. All rifles are fitted with quality optics. Some have silencers and some extended magazines. Appropriate ammunition is available for sale. See overview of weapons available and hire prices below:
