Been to Africa 5 times on safari. Trips have been to RSA, Zim and Cameroon. Never had any questions about blades asked. The only ones I ever took were Swiss Army knives and multi-tools. I always gifted the head tracker with the Swiss Army knives and the PHs got the multi-tools at the end of the hunt in addition to the usual tips. They always seemed to appreciate it. I also made it a point to take aspirin, Tylenol, cold medicine, anti-bacterial stuff, Band-Aids, the white sports tape etc... in a small first aid kit as well as a small sewing kit and always left those items was well. Many of the more remote destinations have a hard time getting those items we take for granted here.
