I have been there several times --I have always felt safe. Granted things are always changing so it would be prudent to keep a vigilant eye--however I would not hesitate on going, in fact I have another hunt booked there for 2008--in northern Zimbabwe--for lion and buffalo.

The country is very, very poor especially since Muggabee has taken over with his new political practices. He has raped the people and the land has been paying the price for his actions, IMHO.

Just take the same precautions you would otherwise take when traveling and you should be fine. As in all things in life, there are no guarantees, so watch your backside.

Good luck and Safe Travels
