Can someone set the record straight?

The new Zim governmunt hunting fees are 2% on the daily rates and then an additional 4% on the trophy fees? Is this correct?

Yes, that is correct.

This was sent to me from HHK Safaris, 4% on trophy fees, 2% on daily fees.

Hello all agents,



A quick note of change to our invoicing…..



We have recently received notification that it was voted on and approved that all Safari Operators in Zimbabwe now have to pay an additional 2% levy on all trophy fees to the Zimbabwe Tourism Authorities in addition to the 2% we already pay to National Parks. Therefore, as of September 1, we will charge the clients a total of 4% levy on their trophy fees – 2% to National Parks and 2% to ZTA. The 2% levy on the Daily rates remains the same.
