What an extraordinary find, part of a Leopard skull that has seen plenty passing of time. Can only imagine the story of this cat as there was no other remains revealed.

Discover a unique MIOMBO woodland LEOPARD hunt:

On the tranquil banks of the LUANGA GRANDE river lies Mparabanja camp, tactfully positioned within the well managed LUIA safari area.
Spanning an impressive 800,000 acres of pristine leopard habitat, this vast expanse promises not only exceptional trophy opportunities, but also unforgettable hunting experiences. The hunting block is encompassed by the Eastern Miombo woodlands, an ecoregion characterized by a blend of grassland and woodland, stretching across northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, and South-Eastern Malawi.​

Despite the region's modest rainfall and relatively nutrient-deficient soil, the Miombo woodland is teeming with life, serving as a sanctuary for numerous species. From endemic bird and lizard species to iconic mammals such as African elephants, buffalo, zebra, and a variety of antelopes—including the majestic Greater Kudu, Livingstone Eland, Johnsons's Impala, Roosevelt sable, and Lichtenstein's hartebeest. The woodlands offer a rich biodiversity, for example, the Roan antelope thrives in this corner of the Eastern Miombo woodlands.

The Miombo woodlands supports a variety of large carnivores, including the Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Spotted hyena, and Side-striped jackal. Rare sightings of the African wild dog point to a transient population traversing the region.
The LUIA hunting area is located on the North shore of Lake Cahorra Bassa, and presents a complex of Granite extrusions and Inselbergs which create an idyllic habitat perfectly suited for supporting a stable leopard population. In line with the LUIA conservation efforts of sustainability, we limit our trophy harvest of adult male leopards per year. This translates to an offtake of approximately 1 big male per 250,000 acres, ensuring both the preservation of future prospects, and superb trophy quality animals.​

At Panther Trackers, we understand that the pursuit of leopards demands a strategic approach tailored to the preferences and abilities of each individual sportsman. Hence, we offer two distinct methods, Bait & Blind and Scent Hounds, each designed to cater to varying hunting styles and aspirations.

For those who thrive on the anticipation of the hunt, Bait & Blind offers a compelling experience. This reactive approach relies on patience, commitment, and a keen understanding of leopard behaviour. With meticulous planning and unwavering confidence, hunters await the opportune moment to harvest a prized rosetted cat from the seclusion of a naturally fabricated blind.

Alternatively, our preferred method involves the exhilarating pursuit with hounds. This proactive approach immerses the hunter in the leopard's world, relying on intense tracking and a deep understanding of their ecology. Guided by our expert team and skilled canines, we embark on a thrilling journey to conquer the the most aged male cat, on his terms and homebase advantage, within the action packed 14-day hunting period.

At Panther Trackers, we pride ourselves on providing an immersive and unforgettable experience, where every day anticipates the thrill of the chase. With our commitment to excellence and dedication to conservation, your journey to harvest a leopard is not just a hunt, but an intense exploration of the world of Africa's big cat.​

14 day minimum Safari duration @ US$1,500 per day.
Fully exportable CITES regulated Leopard trophy @ US$9,500.
Return road transfers from TETE international airport @ US$600.
Hunting license @ US$350 per hunter.

Welcome to the PANTHER TRACKERS portal, your gateway to an extraordinary leopard hunting adventure!

With two decades of traversing the traditional Southern African leopard safari countries, we proudly offer what we believe to be the most epic leopard hunting quest across all criteria. Our home base is nestled on the East coast of Southern Africa—Mozambique, a haven for a true Old Africa adventure.

At the heart of our adventures lies TCHUMA TCHATO, one of Mozambique's pioneering community-based natural resource management programs. Established in 1994, it has evolved into a vast area surrounding Lake Cahorra Bassa, totalling several hundreds of thousands of hectares. This unique hunting model directly supports conservation, placing a significant value on wildlife that would otherwise be seen merely as a protein source or black-market commodity.

Embark on our safaris across Government-designated hunting concessions, each offering a distinct ecological variety. The Southern Miombo Woodlands are littered with majestic Granite Mountain formations that dominate these woodlands, creating a proud landscape with unique challenges and ample opportunities to encounter endemic game species. While the Coastal Evergreen Forests, enriched with towering native hardwood timber, open savannas, and seasonal swamps, provide a rich and diverse backdrop for your safari adventures.

Our camps are thoughtfully crafted, blending natural and fabricated materials to offer modern amenities while preserving the rustic ambiance of a remote hunting base. It's more than just a safari; it's an immersive experience that seamlessly combines retreat with the authenticity of the untamed wilderness.

Our VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY presents a temporary occasion for you to Join our team! As someone familiar with the intricacies of handling a keen pack of hounds, your expertise is invaluable. Volunteer for a 14-day stint, assisting with daily duties on both Trophy harvest and Biopsy darting hunts. Experience the real Africa, contribute directly to conservation, and immerse yourself in African culture.
Your adventure includes tracking, trailing, and treeing the African leopard, with opportunities for camp assistance, driving, hound care, socialization, and more. It's not just work; it's an unforgettable experience that combines adventure with the thrill of African wilderness.

For a 14-day volunteering adventure, the cost is $4,750, all-inclusive.

This is more than a journey; it's an invitation to be a part of something extraordinary. Join us in the heart of the untamed African wilderness for an adventure like no other!
