Big Five

African Leopard

Vulnerable Savannah Best: Year-round (nocturnal — night drives best)

Did You Know?

A leopard can drag a kill twice its own body weight up into a tree to keep it from lions and hyenas — equivalent to lifting a small car overhead.

The Full Story

The most elusive of the Big Five. Solitary and largely nocturnal, a daytime sighting is considered one of Africa's greatest wildlife moments. The Maasai Mara and Samburu both offer strong leopard populations.
