My wife and I agree 100%. We should support the legal and ethical Zimbo's, without these guys the wildlife in Zim will be lost. | |||

Great post. A good friend of mine is a South Texas outfitter/guide, if I were going hunting in Canada I would not ask him to come hold my hand. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

+1 Finding the right guys to go with is really not hard to figure out. You'll find a safari with them to be a very rewarding and enjoyable experience, void of unusual hassles and personal jeopardy. You'll find the paranoia to be unfounded and will be looking to go back and bring the family prior to the trip ending. You'll come away having seen some beautiful country, experienced some outstanding hunting, and feeling that you supported people who are doing their absolute best to fight the good fight. I've hunted Zim 3 times and RSA 4 times. I've had "issues" with 2 of the SA outfitters I hunted with and none with the Zim operators. My last SA outfitter lost 3 of my animals prior to them being sent to the expediter. A friend of mine who hunted with the same guy had 4 of his animals lost, including a lioness. The point being that the people you choose to conduct your safari is far more important than the country in which you choose to hunt. I think the reason you are seeing as much static over Zim operations is because the good guys are taking a public stand to sort things out and not standing by quietly without challenging wrong doing. Personally, I feel good about supporting those types of people. | |||

I have hunted seven times with HHK Safaris in Zim. Manager Graham Hingeston has been a pleasure to work with. You can count on his word. Judge G also has hunted with them numerous times but I'll let him speak to how they teated him. HHK has an excellent stable of PHs and geat concessions. 465H&H | |||

Guys thanks for the list of operators. Just for clarification, I'm only concerned about losing my money with a shady outfit, or one who loses a concession and nothing more. Since retired Army officers aren't rolling in dough I need to spend my resources wisely. As far as my personal safety is concerned, I'll just say I've been in a whole lot worse places than Zimbabwe, will be again shortly, and done a thing or two at much greater personal risk than going on a safari. Being one of those "bad" contractors now the press loves to berate unfortunately forces me into short decision cycles when it comes to hunting trips. Thanks again for the input on reputable outfitters. Don Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you do when things go wrong. | |||
