The hunt for the leopard is one of the most exciting and patient hunts in Zimbabwe.
The Omay safari area is a perect habitat for leopards due to its scenic features, the typical hilly bush area and gorges.
In the numerous gorges there are many caves in which leopards reside, on the other hand the area also offers the perfect habitat for antelopes .
That leads to a high leopard population and therefore successful safaris.
The success rate in leopard hunting is around 90%. In 2016 it was at 100%
In general, the chances of success on leopards in Zimbabwe have improved a lot in the last 4 years. The reason is that the kill rates in all areas have been reduced by up to 50%, which means that more leopards are found in the areas.
We mostly hunt the leopards at the so-called bait. This is where the leopard is served with antelope or buffalo meat baited and hunted from a hideout built by our hunters. The bait is usually only accepted by the leopards at dusk or at night, so it is advisable to take the phases of the moon into account.
The night hunt for leopards allows comfortable hunting safaris to the other game species on offer during the day.
Night hunting is legal in our hunting grounds!
It is also offered to hunt other plainsgame in the ten hunting days. There are only additional costs if you shoot an additional game. The costs for each game species can be seen in the pictures (last picture).
