How to travel with your firearm to Namibia

Take out full insurance for all firearms before travelling anywhere. All bags need to be adequately marked with name tags for identification;

• Pack an unloaded rifle in a sturdy carry case;

• Have a separate lockable container in which you store the ammunition separate from your rifle in your checked luggage;

• At the check-in counter at the point of departure, insist that the agent check your firearm through to Hosea Kutako International Airport, Windhoek. Your bag tag should read, for example: New York - Frankfurt - Windhoek OR Atlanta - Johannesburg - Windhoek. (This is sometimes not possible if the airlines that you are using do not have baggage agreements. Inquire about this before purchasing your ticket.)

• Windhoek Airport's International baggage code is WDH; and

• Physically check baggage tag to ensure that it has been correctly printed and attached. Inquire if a colourful 'in transit tag' is necessary when travelling to another country.
