Congratulations Rob,
I was in Zimbabwe in 1988, but unfortunately not hunting. Boy am I jealous. Last night I sat reading the leopard chapter in Capstick's Death in the Long Grass to my very pregnant wife (due tomorrow). And we discussed future hunts, and returning to Africa (she hunts as well). As usual, I turned our discussion to exterior and terminal ballistics, and we discussed the relative merits of various cartridges for African game (leopard in particular last night). So, what are you taking? My cartridge de jour is the 338-378 Weatherby Magnum.
I hope that you keep us all informed as your plans progress, it would be very informative for me in particular. While I have traveled a great deal for business internationally, all of my hunting to date has been in North America, and I have not had the pleasure of setting up a safari in Africa.
Regards,
JH
