Safety

South Africa has a well publicized crime rate. What outsiders may not understand is that the crime in townships is at a high level but rural areas have little crime. In 18 years there has been no incidents of crime at Swala.

What to wear

In the South African winter it can be chilly in the mornings and evenings so it is best to use layers as you will be down to a T-Shirt during the day.

Do I need inocculations?

No.

Is it a Malaria Area?

No

Which rifle is best to bring?

We suggest a 30-06 or similar as this is appropriate for all game that is found at Swala. Above .375 is too heavy and below .270 is too light.
