Thanks so much for the emails and thinking of us. All good here in sunny Zimbabwe! We are a little anxious to find out the official results which are been stalled for no other reason other then the fact that the result did not go the way that our illustrious leader thought they would!

As we speak now though things are very quite and there is no trouble in Harare or on the roads. I have traveled right through the country as I have had hunts in Vic falls, Nyamuswa and Dande. Myles and Rex have driven to Chewore and Alan has just arrived from Bulawayo enroute to Omay with his client and non of us have had any problems on the roads at all. Steph, my girlfriend, works out at the Airport and to get there has to drive through the high density areas in the morning and returns every evening and is, as a single young white girl, absolutely fine and is certainly not worried in the slightest.

We have taken the precaution of contacting relevant embassies and telling them that we have their nationals hunting with us and with out exception all Embassies say they do not expect violence but that they do have contingency plans for their nationals should there be. Myself, Alan ,Rex and Myles all have mobile radios and Sat phones and are in contact with the office daily so are up to date with day to day developments.

Kirsty has done a wonderful job sourcing all the food which seems a little easier than last year. As we speak I am very positive on the situation in Zim and expect that we will be back enroute to what was remembered as the "Jewel of African Hunting". Of course, if there is any change in the situation here rest assured that we will be the first to let you know as your safety and the enjoyment of your safari are our top priorities.

Cheers for now Buzz
