    Why the African Leopard Hunt is a Legendary Safari

    Stealth, patience, and precision are the hallmarks of leopard hunting. The African leopard is elusive, cunning, and nocturnal, making it one of the most challenging of the Big Five.
    Weighing up to 200 pounds with remarkable strength, leopards vanish into brush or treetops in seconds, demanding a unique blend of skill and composure from hunters.

    At Game Hunting Safaris, we connect hunters with trusted professional hunters (PHs) who know leopard terrain intimately. From baiting setups to night tracking, every detail is handled to ensure your hunt is both ethical and unforgettable.

    The Leopard Hunting Experience

    Leopard hunts unfold in silence and patience. Days are spent selecting bait sites and checking spoor, often with cameras monitoring movement.
    When a big tom begins feeding, evenings turn electric, the hunter waits in a blind, nerves sharp as shadows lengthen.
    Success requires steady shooting, as most opportunities happen in fading light and at relatively close range.

    Trophies are highly individual: a mature tom with full rosettes is a prize few ever forget. Many hunters describe their leopard as the most rewarding mount in their collection.

    Where to Hunt Leopard in Africa

    • Namibia – Known for strong leopard populations and large-bodied cats.
    • Zimbabwe – Zambezi Valley concessions with dense bush for tracking.

    • Mozambique – Remote concessions with fewer hunters and rugged terrain.
    • Tanzania – Classic East African leopard hunts with traditional safari style.
    • South Africa – Select provinces offering baited and specialized leopard safaris.

    Why Hunters Pursue the African Leopard

    Leopard hunts are not about volume of game but the test of patience and skill. For hunters who value challenge, the leopard represents the pinnacle of dangerous game.

    • Prestige – A mature tom is one of the most respected trophies worldwide.
    • Adrenaline – Waiting in darkness as a leopard approaches bait is an unmatched thrill.
    • Combination Potential – Leopard hunts are often paired with buffalo or plains game.

    • Conservation Value – Strict quotas ensure sustainable management of leopard populations.
