Do you have your TOPS permit?

Planning a Safari to South Africa soon?

Do you know about the TOPS ( Threatened or protected species) permit?

This is a permit you must have in hand before you set out on your hunt, so the day you arrive your outfitter should already have this permit. Some of these permits are very limited and you must know even a year in advance to obtain one. The list below is of the species found on the South African TOPS list. View this list and make sure you have all the correct documents lined up with your outfitter before you leave for your safari
