Zimbabwe options

I also hunted Dande last year with Charlton McCallum Safaris. Seems like a lot of us did! I echo Tanks sentiments that CMS is top notch. That said, please talk with the owners, Buzz or Myles, about your expectations. If you’re looking for a dangerous game hunt, then Dande will suit you fine. If you want a wide selection and large populations of plains game, Dande might not be what you‘re looking for.
Bubye and Save might be more of what you’re after. Never hunted either, but both areas are highly rated

CMS also has Nyakasanga, with good DG and PG numbers.
 
Surprised I haven’t seen Roger Whittall Safaris mentioned. This is head and shoulders the largest property in the Save Valley Conservancy. Them and the Duckworth family next door (Mokore Safaris- also excellent) have been at the junction of the Turgwe and Save Rivers for generations. A real scenario of families being connected with the land and the game on the land. Classic Africa.

You won’t go wrong with Zim. The best PHs, the confluence with quality and value, and the glimpses of old Africa are tough to beat.
 
Excellent point, both of their properties are fantastic.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
