The leopard (Panthera pardus) /ˈlɛpərd/ is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae.
Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Elke bespreking op Spekboom ondersteun bewaring.
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Leopard op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Leopard at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve and Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and other reserves. 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.
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. 103 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Leopard on site or nearby.
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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
