John's quite right, the country has gone down the crapper completely and it's a wonder that the good operators are still managing to hold things together ...... but they are, and my guess is that they'll continue to do so. One question is will the game survive in sufficient number for hunting to continue...... personally, I think it will. - At least for the next few years.

The more pressing question is whether the various Governments, esp the American Government will try to stop their citizens travelling to Zimbabwe....... and that is in the lap of the Gods. - Personally I think that if they do, it'll be a disgrace....... people should be free to make their own decisions......

Whether to hunt Zim or not should be a private decision made by the individual concerned. Personally, I won't do business there because I flatly refuse to put a cent in the pocket of a regime that has such an appalling record of human rights abuses..... but I don't condemn anyone for deciding otherwise.
