Don't expect anything being there in Africa. Reading some classic hunting stories when I was a young boy I expected to find .375 H&H and .470 Nitro ammunition would be as common as Coca-Cola is here. That never was the case, and never will be. If you were to find some Federal Premium ammunition is South Africa, it would be at the very least triple the highest price you would pay in the USA. The importer has to make his cut. The local currency has tanked due to resource prices tanking, corruption, stupidity, etc, and the price reflects this. And last but not least, how bad do you need it.

That is South Africa, and it is a head and shoulders above the rest of the African nations. When I went to Zimbabwe in 2006, I checked with various sources, the Economist and the CIA World Book of Facts in particular, according to them Canada, where I am from, with just 36 million inhabitants, had a larger economy than that of the entire African continent with over a billion inhabitants. After touring the entire Western portion of Zimbabwe for 3 weeks, plus a couple of days spent in South Africa, all I can say is you have to see it for yourself to really appreciate what is wrong.
