A couple of other notes.

Book ten days of hunting. Enjoy your time there. I once stayed in Zim for 28 days straight.

Fly in to Vic Falls, overnight there. Travel to Hwange and spend two days on photo safari. You will get over your jet lag and get to see big game up close.

Don't pinch pennies, that does not mean waste money. I could never afford a cheap hunt, my time is too valuable.
