We will book your animals on all airlines licensed to carry AVI (live animals) flying all over the world. The Team:

Fanie Van Rooyen - Specialist Wild Life Consultant
The above team members are available 24 hours to accommodate our customers as well as assist with urgent matters or enquiries. They know all the routes, flight schedules and the sizes of the crates that can be accommodated by the different airlines to suite your requirements. Submitting All The Relevant Paperwork:
It is the exporters/shippers responsibility to ensure that ALL export permits, veterinary health certificates and CITES documentation are in place when exporting animals. If you are not sure what the regulations are, you need to contact our offices for guidance. Documents required are :
Import permit issued by the destination country
Export permit issued by country of origin (CITES)
Blood test results to confirm animals are fit to fly
Supplementary veterinary paperwork (Certificate)
Pets passport
Other (special requirements)
Export invoice (for wild animals & game bought in South Africa)
Custom Containers:
Our professional staff will guide you to ensure you purchase the right size crate for your pet. We will also assist you with the crate specifications as per the IATA Animal Regulations when exporting all types of animals. No crate is too big to handle. Metal & wooden crates are accepted by most airlines to accommodate the larger animals, like lions, giraffes & rhinos, when flying. Attention to detail:
Ensuring your pet flies in the right sized crate will reduce stress and ensure comfort and security throughout the journey. That is why all our crates are custom made to suit each individual pet that flies with us. The airway bill (ticket) determines the cost of flying your pet with a specific airline and is directly correlated to the volume of the crate in which pets travel. A few centimeters longer than is needed could mean your pet is not going to feel as snug and safe as it could in a bespoke crate and could potentially cost unnecessary extra charges.
