Jeff WemmerBack in from Zim. safe and sound.
AR members,
Just back in from a 2 week stay in Zimbabwe. Had a most excellent hunt with Chifuti Safaris in Chewore North and didn't see, sense, or hear of any kind of unrest going on.
Stayed at the Gecko Gardens one night (highly recommended) and spent the rest of the time in the bush.
Had a great time, got what I was after and will definately be going back.
All guns, luggage, ammo, etc. arrived on time coming and going...
Special thanks to Kathi at "Wild Travel" for going the extra distance!!!
Word to the wise: You get what you pay for. Use only reputable well established operators.

Welcome back, Jeff. Looking forward to pics and stories of course! Where is Gecko Gardens? Must be in Harare. jorge

Die Ou JagterThe associated Hotel linked on their web site looks great. It appears to be worthy of a trip to Harare just for a short stay. I have bookmarked it for next year.

L. David KeithJeff, glad to hear all went well and I look forward to hearing about your hunt and some pics. Weather really took a nose dive the first of the week. Hopefully it cooled down in Chewore. David

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

MotorCityGlad you had a great trip, and Zim was safe. Now some Pics, details and lets see trophies.
What was the weather like?

The Gecko is a plush set of digs. Looking forward to your report and pics, of course.
Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place
among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.
I leave for the Chifuti CN camp in 76 days (but who's counting?)
Who was your PH?
