Another outfitter in Zimbabwe to check out is Track-A-Hunt Safaris with Corris Ferria. I hunted with him 4 years ago for Buffalo, and it was an outstanding trip. He hunts old school with cutting tracks and looking for old Dagga bulls. I was amazed at how wary the old bulls were. We were on buffalo every day, but it took until the evening of the 5th to get a shot. The concession is on the shores of Lake Kariba, and the sight seeing of hippos, crocodiles and other wildlife was a highlight. Depending on the time of year you go, fishing might be an option as well.

Like others have recommended, go early and see Victoria Falls and other sites while you recover from jet lag.

For my next trip, I plan on stopping for a few days in Germany then head down to see Corris.
