Leopard hunting over hounds is among the most specialised and engaging forms of hunting still practiced in Africa today. Combining traditional tracking, experienced hound work and the pursuit of one of the continent’s most elusive predators, leopard hunting over hounds offers a level of participation rarely found in modern African safaris.

At Panther Trackers, our hounds are the main component of every leopard safari. A hunt begins with the discovery and interpretation of fresh spoor, followed by the deployment of a carefully developed hound pack bred and trained specifically for leopard hunting. Clients participate throughout the process, gaining firsthand insight into leopard tracking, hound handling and the fieldcraft required to consistently pursue mature toms in wild country.

For more than two decades, Panther Trackers has conducted leopard hunting safaris across Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique. From rugged mountains and notorious river valleys to expansive bushveld wilderness and coastal habitats, each leopard hunting area presents unique terrain, leopard densities and hunting conditions.

For hunters seeking an authentic leopard hunting experience in Africa, few opportunities compare to following accomplished leopard hounds perform the task for which they were bred.
