The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range.

Donkerder maande is elke park se eie beste seisoen, wanneer yl bos of skaars water dit makliker maak om te kyk. 'n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Beste tye van die dag

Na donker en rondom dagbreek. Die Leopard is meestal snags aktief, so 'n nagrit gee die beste kans.
Bedags, rustend. Gewoonlik uit sig in digte bos, 'n gat of water.

Maniere om te kyk

Begeleide ritte van 'n lodge af

'n Gids wat weet waar om te kyk, met veldritte en nagritte in die privaat reservate.

Vrae wat reisigers vra

'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Leopard op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Leopard in Western Cape?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Leopard at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve and Mont Eco Private Game Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

Where can you see the Leopard in South Africa?

The Leopard is most recorded in Mpumalanga (50% of records), Limpopo (20% of records), Western Cape (16% of records), based on 3 720 iNaturalist observations. 18 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the Leopard on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Leopard?

The Leopard is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Mont Eco Private Game Reserve: year-round, peak: Dec-Mar. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
