| HUNTING LICENSE &
EXPORTATION PERMITS |
Once your hunting
safari has been confirmed, Africa Sunset Safaris will
obtain your hunting license, hunting permits and export permits
on your behalf, which is part of our all inclusive pricing. For
us to apply for these documents, the Hunting License and Hunting
Permits Application (one form) must be filled out by the client
and returned to us well before the commencement of your hunting
safarii. This application form may be printed from our
web site by clicking here
which once completed, you may fax to us.
Please indicate any and all species
that you may be interested in hunting, it does not obligate you
to do so. Trying to obtain a permit for an animal that has already
been hunted that was not included on your original hunting permit
is more difficult after the fact. Please contact us for details
on the South African restrictions of certain species. We will
also take care of obtaining your special export permits where
applicable. An additional importation permit from the country
of destination may also be required Read following section. |

| IMPORTATION PERMITS |
All importation
permits to country of residence are the hunters’ responsibility
to obtain; we are unable to apply for them on your behalf. A CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species)
importation permit is required for Leopard from the United States, as well as many
other countries. Prior to exportation of a Leopard
trophy from South Africa, the hunter is responsible for
obtaining and providing us with the CITES permit from his country of residence, for
more information visit their web site at http://www.cites.org. In the
United States a CITES permit may be obtained from the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, you can find them at
http://www.fws.gov, hunters
from other countries should consult their customs office to find
out if they need an importation permit, and if so, where they
should apply. Although the United States prohibits the importation
of a Cheetah trophy, many other countries
allow it, check with your customs office to find out if Cheetah is legal to import into your country,
and whether a special importation permit is required. |

| TAXIDERMY |
|
You may choose
to have your taxidermy work done in South
Africa, partially or fully, or you can have it sent to be done by
your own taxidermist. What ever you decide
your hunting trophies will be taken to
our taxidermist. The taxidermist will disinfect, pack and crate
your trophies for exportation into the
country of destination which will be done through the consignor
/ shipping agent. We recommend that you bring to South Africa your
taxidermist's contact information along with their trophy tags,
which your taxidermist should easily supply you with. |
