Où séjourner pour avoir une chance d’observer le Leopard
Chaque séjour de la page du Leopard indique les espèces que l’hôte a relevées sur la propriété ou à proximité. Un relevé est une observation, jamais une promesse.
Les mois plus foncés sont la meilleure saison de chaque parc, quand la brousse clairsemée ou le manque d’eau facilite l’observation. Une observation n’est jamais garantie.

Questions des voyageurs
Une observation signifie qu’un hôte a vu l’espèce Leopard sur place ou à proximité. Ce n’est jamais une garantie de la voir.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Leopard in South Africa?+
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.
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. 103 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa 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. 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.
The Leopard (Panthera pardus) is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
What is the Leopard?+
The leopard (Panthera pardus) /ˈlɛpərd/ is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. 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.
