Firearm information
Calibers to utilize on an African safari are often debated, for the purpose of simplicity PSSA recommends the following calibers are used for small to large plains game: any .300 caliber using a180 grain projectile. All of the "Big Five" species including hippo and giraffe, the minimum caliber that may legally be used is a .375 H&H Magnum, using a 300 grain projectile. However excluding leopard and giraffe, a caliber of .400 is suggested.All form of wing shooting is conducted with either a 12 gauge or a 20 gauge shotguns. Ammunition for both calibers are readily available at market related prices. Please note that when visiting South Africa OR using South Africa as a stop over en route to other African destinations, no 2 rifles of the same caliber are allowed to be brought in by a single owner. If wing shooting, prior permission may be acquired to import 2 shotguns of the same caliber for a single owner. No person under the age of 21 may import a firearm into South Africa, it would have to be brought in on parents or guardians import permits, bearing in mind that still only 1 rifle of a specific caliber may be imported by that parent or guardian.

Medical Evacuation
As the nature of safari always has the potential to create situations that are beyond the control of yourselves or PSSA, the evacuation in the event of injury, illness or death can be an extremely costly exercise and often one fraught with difficulties. We highly recommend that you take out a policy that will cover all your needs in this regard.PSSA has undertaken to identify one such service, MedjetAssist.
Learn more about the MedjetAssist “hospital of choice” program in advance of your trip and enroll online at www.medjetassist.com/stones. MedjetAssist has Annual & Short-Term protection. Parties not from the U.S., Canada or Mexico will need to call to determine access to the MedjetAssist Foreign National or Short-Term program.

THE UNEXPECTED REALLY DOES HAPPEN
An accident or illness leaves you or a family member hospitalized in another city, state or country facing unknown and unproven medical providers. Who do you call and how do you get home? If you are a MedjetAssist member, you simply make one phone call.
Upon signing up with MedjetAssist, please email all the details to PSSA so that in the event of you being incapacitated and unable to act on your own, we can phone the necessary information through to MedjetAssist to have you evacuated.
PSSA does NOT have our own medical evacuation program; if a client decides not to take out his own policy, PSSA does NOT accept any liability should an evacuation not take place.
