I've several Zim friends, a couple of whom have recently "lost" their farms. I would avoid Zim as a destination. SA, on the other hand, is somewhat safer. As an ex-pat now residing in Canada, I visit fairly frequently. My most recent trip was July this year. The disturbing trends are the obvious growth in visible unemployment and poverty and the escalation of violent crime. Hunting destinations have not been targeted (yet) and remain safe. For general touring, though, be circumspect and careful and try to avoid known higher risk areas.
Just my opinion, though.
