CLIMATE AND CLOTHING

Chacma Safaris has hunting excemption to hunt throughout the year.

Suggested hunting season is from April to September, which are winter months where temperatures of 37F are common in early mornings and evenings. Day temperatures vary between 80-95F (27-35C). You will need 3-4 sets of light, neutral-coloured trousers, shirts, shorts, underwear and socks.

Also required is a light cool sweater, warm hunting jacket, and 1 pair of well-worn-in hunting boots, as well as a pair of comfortable relaxing shoes/running shoes for after the hunt.

A lot of walking can be expected so it is advisable that the hunter is in a reasonable state of fitness. A hat or cap, as well as sunblock, must not be forgotten as the African sun can be unforgiving. Other helpful items are – hunting knife, gloves, binoculars, sunglasses, flashlight, and camera with a good supply of film.

Suggested Personal Safari Equipment

Good quality pocket size binoculars. Hat for the Africa sun. Ammunition carrier or belt. Multi-purpose knife or leatherman tool. Flashlight and batteries. Earplugs. Sling and cleaning kit. Good quality camera and plenty of film/batteries. Universal adapter for video equipment.

We suggest the following clothing list: -

• Casual clothing and shoes for around camp
  
• Sun hat/cap - we suggest a sunscreen

MEDICAL

Malaria is prevalent in most African countries. Most of South Africa and Namibia are free of malaria. But if you are traveling to other parts of Africa such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique and others you should talk to your doctor about taking the malaria prophylaxis drug Larium or possibly one of the other anti-malaria drugs on the market.
