On the prep front I think, apart from practicing off the same sticks you will use there I would say study shot placement books and videos (via Kevin Robertson's The Perfect Shot and YouTube are great sources) The animals aren't always standing broadside clear of cover, they are often head on or...

The CMS guys in Zim said camouflage is fine, just don't go head to toe in military surplus camo. Lots of them where i.e. Kuiu camo. My kit list from last Zim trip (CMA - Dande) KIT Viperflex sticks (I prefer my quad sticks to their tripods) Ear muffs and spare batteries 8x30 binos and chest...

That's probably the same Germans (2023) who our outfitter told us got a 40,000 Euro fine and lost their gun licences. When @SRvet and I looked into it there was no way round it. We were told some used to risk going via Jo'burg and claim that was their final destination but it wasn't worth the...

For tuskless I think Zambezi valley is a given so key is CMS and @DALTON & YORK SAFARIS

I hunted Dande in 2024 loved it. I think most of those Zambezi valley areas are hard hunting, how I like it. I was told Nyakasanga has more open areas and more plains game. For tuskless allow at least 10 days if Dande. It was a 6 hour drive from Harare (which we flew into) which was fine. As...

Having spent 10 days in Hwange NP last year I'd say any area around that park! In one camp our guide was an ex PH and he judged a number of bulls we saw up close to be 'between 80 and 90lbs' with one 'nearer 100'

I can recommend Johan and Executive Hunt Africa

With that I'd agree wholeheartedly

I forgot Invercauld as they also have garrons Fife Arms is unique indeed, amazing artwork but the OP said 'low cost' and that it isn't

I hunted driven boar with Mike at https://thehuntinglodgecroatia.com/ and saw some very impressive red stags and fallow bucks

Rob Murray (another ex PH) runs a good photo camp at Vundu in Mana

Great photos. Looks like Glenfinnan in one and a Turnbull in a bonnet in another?

I live in the UK and have stalked the Highlands of Scotland for 35 years, so a few thoughts: Time of year - the best is during the rut when the stags are roaring which is from late September until late October. Although there are no longer stag seasons in Scotland most sporting estates observe...

Lots of photographic opportunities in the Zim National Parks like Hwange and Mana Pools which are generally surrounded by hunting areas

It's huge so you can do a day or 30 days! A good guide (due partly to WhatsApps groups these days) will probably get you in front of the Big5 in a couple of days, we got lucky with a leopard and saw them on Day 1 but did four days
