Description

These hunts are selectively conducted in the untamed free range African wilderness. This outfitter operates in numerous Government conservancies plus several private properties, predominantly in the country Mozambique. They are constantly sourcing prime leopard habitat, they range the vast area between the powerful Zambezi river and her substantial tributaries and deltas South to the renowned Limpopo river, famous for her huge Leopard. The many ancient mountain ranges that direct these epic river courses form pristine habitat for the African Leopard and constantly produce good cats for the determined sportsman. All the areas the outfitter task their skills to are expansive wilderness blocks accounting for hundreds of thousands of unfenced, sustainably used acres. Free roaming Elephant, Lion and Buffalo contribute to the old-style atmosphere of our traditional African safari. Camps are resourcefully constructed from available materials and purposefully shy from the 5-star luxury of the modern photo-safari industry. The outfitter engages avidly in hunting Africa on foot by means of tracking, pursuing and selectively harvesting mature animals only. Hunting Safaris are the prime income generator in all our areas where anti-poaching, scientific study and calculated game management are the only artillery for preserving the natural environment and her wild inhabitants. This, the most authentic conservation model, is the playing field on which we pursue the cunning Leopard - the most elusive of African dangerous game. The most observed solitary big cat comprehensively also enjoys the widest range of Africa’s big cats and hunting prospects are available across most of the Southern African countries. Realistic body weights of male leopards range from 60 kg / 132lbs to 85kg / 188lbs however in rare instances a brute is encountered that can tip the scales. This is an incredible 14 day hunt for free range hunt for a trophy leopard.

Description

Hunter will need to be prepared to be hiking in unfenced wild African wilderness. Hunts may take place at night as leopards are much more active. Crepuscular behavior, defined as primarily active during twilight best describes the Leopards heightened periods of activity, although a stricter nocturnal movement is more commonly adopted in areas of greater persecution. This adds to the challenging nature of hunting the big cat as sign and scent is often aged by the time daylight permits effective tracking. Weather can be rainy so rain gear is a must. Hunter must be prepared for moderate hiking in the dark with durable and comfortable hiking boots with a good flashlight and headlamp. Outfitter will provide lodging and meals and all field transportation for the hunt. Outfitter will help prep the skin and skull for export. Leopards are importable with CITES permit to the United States.
