    ZIMBABWE: Has Anyone Hunted With Shaw & Hunter?

    Yeah I got an email with prices in different concessions. Some of the best hunting areas too be honest. Upon further review the outfitter email at the bottom is Leopard Rock Outfitters. If any of you have booked let me know. I think you might be right about the booking agency.
