Unfortunately South Africa is an entire different world than Cameroon in my experiences...and YES., I agree, pretty sure ammo mentioned above could be found in South

My PH in Cameroon told me what a pain in the butt it was obtaining ammo there..

Kinda agree with Rell, would be way simplier to just go ahead and use the camp gun and ammo..

I have a Blaser R8 in 300Win and 375H&H, would make a great gun for this trip as well but not sure what would happen to the rifle if its raining steady for 2 weeks..but on the other hand also think what did I buy it for??

And in a case that small would really make it easy for them to steal...

Read a lot about the finish this company puts out..FYI..
