Leopard Lookout: Africa’s Elusive Big Cat…

22/05/2018
Leopards are considered to be one of the most elusive animals in Africa and are often the last to be crossed off the Big 5 list. Improving your chances of seeing this elegant and powerfully built predator involves a bit of strategy.

The Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa has one of the highest concentrations of leopard in Africa, which you would expect from this reserve’s prestige on the world map. It is one of the best places to view and photograph these incredible creatures in the wild.

Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve is an outstanding safari destination and its Kwai River region is an area of permanent water, floodplains and sheltering woodlands. Keep a look-out for the beguiling big cat in the branches of the massive trees that line the river.

South Luangwa National Park in Zambia has a hefty population of impala and crocodile, the perfect prey for leopard. The park allows for night game drives, when leopards are hunting and at their most active.

The Masai Mara in Kenya is undoubtedly one of the greatest places to see all wildlife and that includes its great numbers of leopard. Most of the leopard sightings occur around the park’s Mara and Talek rivers, away from the savannah that the Masai Mara is known for.
