I'm looking at going back for another buff in '17, and at this point I'm considering Mozambique and the Bubye in Zim... Moz is cheaper, but the non-tangibles are hard to predict. I know what I'm getting for my $$$ in Zimbabwe, whereas a new area/PH in Moz has a lot of unknowns.
I am down to John Sharp or Mashambanzou in Moz.
Same boat as you, except this is my first buff hunt. But there are few unknowns with John Sharp...he is a known quantity (as is the BVC).
Other issue is I want to hunt Livingstone Eland and at the Moz location I have to wait for late September for the hunting to get near prime (hot by then). But Moz is $5k less (wife would come along and the day fees are non-negotiable at BVC).
BH63 - who did you book with, if you don't mind sharing?
