I am a planner. My first trip to Africa in 2024 was booked 2 years in advance. My second trip is already booked and I do not go until June of 2028. So....

Headed to Namibia via Cape Town next June and planning way ahead. I like to have a glass or two of good bourbon in the evenings, especially when hunting. Is there good bourbon readily available in Cape Town and Windhoek? I like cask-strength stuff if available. I am not a Crown, JD, or JB guy, but Woodford or Elijah Craig will do if available.

If not, how hard is it to travel with your own? It looks like both countries allow 1 L duty-free. I don't think that will last me for the 17...
