Hi Garry, best wishes in your endeavor to become a PH. A good first step might be to get in touch with ZPHGA (Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association).

If I remember the testing to become a PH in Zim is more stringent than most.

Please:
It is not "easy" and the most "dont make mutch money".
If you see it as an adventure, try ist.

a.)
Start with an PH-course, in SA for example.

b.)
Forget some countrys like Nambia (only if you buy your own farm/land), Simbawe or Namiba.
On an "normal way" you have no chance.

c.)
You can try it in West Afrika (it is an fashion now) or in Central Afrika.
You need only "connection" and "money".
You can start...

d.)
Or in Tansania (most of the high class PHs are from the US, most dont have an exam or an PH-course). You need mutch more as in West or Central Afrika.
But here are the "stars".

But:
Drive to Vegas, to Dallas, to the shows...
The safaris goes down...
Too mutch young people (golf, not hunting), the bans, the antis, the government, pp.

...but:
Give everything you have, all your time and money, leave your home behind you, sell it,...
Then you have an (little) chance !!!
