True as well Shaun,
but by association if I was to take a client or offer a hunt in Zim I would be slammed, tarred and labelled as in the past, I personally like the country allot, but prefer to take my clients somewhere else and have seeked buisiness opportunities elsewhere, now when I receive an offer from reputable zim outfitters I just blow it off as I am not interested in the labelling anymore...
I'll take my wife to the falls and Kariba but thats where it stops for me, luckily we have been able to find an awesome and much better solution elsewhere that I can work by myself... and ultimalty have sole control over.
Bad guys are everywhere as you correctly mention, the problem is who do you trust as you have now learnt... and when you find someone like that are they willing to work in a mutually beneficial manner with you... It's just not worth my time away from home........
good luck and as always only my very best.
