Tell your PH to take you to the taxidermist TCI they have one of the best curio shops as well as Induna Arts, these days they are a lot better than Fazaks

I had to burn a day in Bulawayo when the airline lost my rifle on the way in and my PH took me to TCI and they had a lot of nicer curio items. I didn't buy anything because I was on my way to the hunt, I wish I could have stopped in again on the way out.

Bulawayo is my home town. I would add Ivory Kraal (there is a taxidermy place next to this shop too, Taxidermy Enterprises who sell some more curio stuff and leather goods) and Matabeleland Taxidermy to the list, Matland do some really nice game skin gunbags as well as some nice curio type stuff.

Courtney's didn't use to have direct sales. Haven't been there in years but but if memory serves (and it often doesn't)Geka's used to have the best selection of Courtney boots.

Thanks, everyone. I visited all places reccomended and bought some nice gifts. I also reccomend the street vendors downtown if you don't mind haggling. Courtney boots does not have factory sales nor do they allow visitors...the few places that carried them had very limited inventory...
