Interesting, in my 8 safaris covering SA and Zim, I just always had to have my day rates paid in full before the hut. In SA, I had to pay final TF with either a wire or credit card whereas in Zim with both D&Y and Tokoloshe, I paid TF when I arrived back to US with a wire.Then you will not be hunting anywhere outside private land in South Africa or Namibia. Full payment of daily rates and a TF deposit before you arrive is standard for concession areas. Areas that are managed on government quotas have something to lose if the hunter doesn’t arrive. It’s not like private land where they can add one more to the quota next year at landowner’s discretion.
