makiWhere do you live? The handle canam suggests you might be in Canada. That would make getting to Zim with your own rifles a serious pain.

RhysDeffinately look at Steves website. Also look up a book called Safari Deams by Keneth Royce. If you have any problems finding the book let me know they're available at our local book shop.
What species are you looking toward? If free range plains game is what your after Namibia would be right at the top of my list.
Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!!

SaeedFor buffalo you really have only two choices, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
Make sure the plains game animals you are after are actually available in the area you are going to hunt, especially in Tanzania.

Russ GouldFor this situation, we send clients to a 75000 acre property on the SA side of the Limpopo. Yes it's fenced (on 3 sides, open to Zim on the river side). But it's easy to get to, very large, super PG in addition to Buffalo, and total cost will be less than or equal to Zim (without the hassle/cost of flying to Harare or BYO).
