As a starter in my experience this is mostly a web based discussion and tendency due to the high concentration of outfitters available on a semi (or lower than normal personal basis) in the industry hunters tend to stick to operations,
I believe in building up relationships (my life style) I have clients that have hunted with me for 13 years we have hunted all over Africa and South Africa, each trip is like a reunion of old friends.
Talk to your outfitter hear what he has for resources.
One of the largest reasons I stopped hunting in Zim is because I had so little under my control, and for one in many cases the camps were not run to my standard and my clients are not treated the way I would treat them.
Hence our expansion into Moz in which I am licensed as well. This all because of clients demand.
This year I will be heading back to Tanzanis (Kilwa) due to a long standing friends wish to hunt Tanzania again.
I get why some hunters go to different outfitters, in some cases it pricing.... But as a client I would be hard pressed to jump from place to place, IMO it is a case of sooner or later you're going to set your self up for a miserable time, I had clients who did so and ended up coming back.
My best always
