465H&HI spent a week in Harare in late March. Spent a lot of time driving around town and some time walking down town. I saw no problems there or on the roads outside of Harare. A few police checkpoints was all and they were not intewrested in us at all. The people we met were all friendly including the police and CID officers.

L. David KeithI was there in February and traveled over 3,000 miles through the country. No problems, never felt threatened. Spoke to my fellow Outfitter two nights ago and "no worries". He has 16 clients coming over, starting in two weeks for the month of May, and we see nothing other than good times. LDK

stillluckyI am leaving to hunt there in 3 weeks. I just
watched my video of my hunt from 2004, and
I am pumped. My friend who lives in South Africa
told me that Zim is fine for now.
Best of luck

llamapackerI was there just two weeks ago. Returned on April 7th. I've made a few posts regarding my visit, some specifically in regard to the situation in Zim. I had no problems whatsoever.

LeopardtrackJeff,
Please don't go, it's way too dangerous! Give me your tickets and I will go insted and let you know how it was.
Joking aside, I was there in Sept, and I had the time of my life. Never felt in any type of danger in any way.
Good luck and don't worry.

PathfinderI was there in June/July of 2005. I was all over Bulawayo and none the less for wear. Shortage of gas was about all. I will be hunting Metetsi this year with HHK beginning on 8/25 for 10 days of buffalo/plains game hunting. I'm not worried at all about the situation. I think the problems there have been ongoing. Africa is never 100% so "yo pays yo money and takes yo chances".

ledvmI have a good friend who lives in Harare. I talk to him weekly. He tells me all is fine in Zim as far as traveler safety goes.

ozhunterJust returned today from Zim and found it fine in fact the tourist market sales men in Vic Falls were far less pushy. I suspect the police were cracking some heads.
The White business men are being hounded hard by the usual fools.
