How Leopard Trophy Hunting Works

A traditional leopard hunt involves carefully planned baiting, scouting, and patient blind setups.

1. Pre-Safari Briefing

You’ll meet your PH, review your weapon setup, and plan the areas to target for leopard.

2. Baiting Strategy

Fresh zebra, impala, or buffalo quarters are placed strategically in trees to attract active male leopards.

3. Camera Monitoring

Trail cameras verify mature males feeding on the bait before a blind is set up.

4. Blind Setup

A concealed blind is prepared 40–70 meters from the bait — perfect for accurate shot placement.

5. Final Hunt

Most leopard hunts occur at dusk or dawn when males return to feed.

Success rates in Tanzania range from 60% to 85%, depending on the concession and hunter experience.

Lion Trophy Hunting Also Available

In addition to leopards, our outfit offers regulated lion trophy hunting in select Tanzanian concessions.
This is ideal for hunters seeking a big-cat hunting safari that includes:

Lion hunts require longer safari durations (typically 21 days) and are strictly managed under Tanzania’s wildlife laws.

If you want both lion and leopard trophy hunting in one safari, let us know and we’ll structure a custom big-game package.

Best Time to Hunt Leopards in Tanzania

Leopard hunting is available during the official Tanzania hunting season: July to December

Best months for success:

These months offer optimal visibility, better tracking conditions, and higher activity around bait sites.

What Rifle Is Best for Leopard Hunting?
