The Outfitter hosting the Hunting Safari

Juan and his team are a living tribute to the golden era of East African safari, when canvas, courage, and character defined the sport. carries on the ethos of a bygone time with grit, grace, and respect for the land.

Operating in Coutada Marangira near Mozambique’s Niassa Reserve, Juan and team offers dangerous game hunts, including Cape Buffalo, Lion, and Leopard and Elephant, conducted on foot, guided by seasoned professional hunters, who value fair chase and deep bush experience over modern shortcuts.

Each hunt is a slow, deliberate journey, where trackers move like shadows and the crack of a .375 echoes through acacia groves like a memory from 1950s Tanganyika. Clients are welcomed not as tourists but as fellow adventurers, those who revere the old ways, who savor black coffee at dawn and whisky by firelight at dusk.

Here you don’t just hunt game, you chase history!!

What is the Leopard Hunting Success Rate?

The success rate of leopard hunting can vary significantly.  Leopards are elusive, nocturnal, and often inhabit vast, dense areas, making them difficult to track.

Successful Leopard hunts require careful planning, knowledge of the terrain, and patience. Juan and his team in Niassa have all these qualities and have a success rate of more than 90%.

Leopard Hunting Methods

Baiting is a traditional method of hunting Leopards in Niassa. This process includes baiting areas where Leopards may likely be. Trail cams are used and when a suitable Tom is spotted, a temporary blind will be built 50 to 75 yards away.

When the Leopard returns to the bait, wait until he is in position and take the shot.

Tips when Leopard Hunting

The minimum legal caliber in Mozambique is a .375. Use good quality optics and ensure the rifle is test fired after being transported long distances.

Avoid shooting the cat when he is standing on his hind legs, or when it is lying down.  Be aware of the position of the Leopard vitals (shot placement) as they have the ability to move into all kinds of shapes and positions.

Can I bring my own rifle when hunting in Mozambique?

Yes you can bring your own rifle.  You will need a valid firearm permit before you arrive in Mozambique, which Juan and his team will arrange.

They will need a scanned color copy of your passport, a color copy of a passport size photograph in Jpeg format, for US Citizens, a copy of the customs form 4457, or a copy of the firearm license, proof of travel itinerary, details such as: home address, contact numbers, email etc.

If you are going to travel through South Africa and overnight, you will need to complete a SAPS 520 form on arrival. Each hunter is allowed a maximum of three firearms to Mozambique, with a maximum of 100 rounds per firearm.
