Despite being widely distributed throughout Southern Africa, leopards are the most elusive of Africa’s big cats and the hardest member of the Big Five to locate. This difficulty stems from their solitary nature and their ambush hunting style, which compels them to remain hidden in regions dense with bush and trees. In numerous habitats, leopards are known to be nocturnal animals. Challenges such as habitat loss, poaching, and conflict with agricultural practices have contributed to their global decline. Nevertheless, there are notable safari destinations that are recognized for their thriving leopard populations. Alongside visiting these prime spotting locations, effective strategies for finding leopards involve participating in night drives, looking upwards as leopards frequently rest in trees, and paying attention to the alarm calls of prey like antelope and baboons.
