BeerHunter,

I see you are in the Bay Area. David Tett owns Bushtracks safaris in San Francisco. He is from Zimbabwe and his brother Chris owns a company that trades under the same name in Victoria Falls and Livingstone. You could meet him face to face and plan a great trip to Zimbabwe.

I am not sure why LongingForORD would not just name his/her really good agent in FL but I also know two really good Zimbabwe agents in Florida. It seems odd to me that he/she asked for a PM instead of just giving the agent some free marketing. Ryan Hilton, owner of Admiral Travel/Authentiscapes and Mark Nolting, owner of Africa Adventure Company are both in FL. Ryan is from Zimbabwe and Mark’s wife Alison is from Zimbabwe. All three of them (Ryan, Mark, Alison) specialize in Zimbabwe and can easily assist you. They contract directly with just about every lodge in the country. Mark is the author of Africa’s Top Wildlife countries which is sold at Barnes and Nobles. Mark & Ryan are both Conde Nast gold list agents for Africa.

I hope this helps.
