Zeitsev,

I see absolutely no reason to hesitate when it comes to visiting Zimbabwe as a tourist/hunter.

Many of us follow very closely on what goes on in various African countries, including the security situation. Often via direct contact with people who live there (vs various "State Dept." advice found on the internet, which IMO is often biased depending on the political relationships between countries).

Although Zim is a poor country in many ways, you will find that the people are in general very friendly and helpful. I'd go so far as to say visiting Zim is far safer than at least a dozen other African countries my wife and I have spent time in.

I presume you will not be wandering alone in downtown Harare in the middle of the night, which would not be a good idea. But then the same goes for virtually every other African city I've spent time in (With the exception of Khartoum. I guess the threat of getting your hand chopped off for stealing is pretty preventive when it comes to cutting down on crime.

)

So I say go have a great time, take lots of pictures for us here on NE, and enjoy all the fun, and friendly people, Zim has to offer. You will not regret it!
