Leopard beautiful dangerous safaris

Leopard and its amazing picture safaris


One of the main advantages of a leopard safari in Kenya is the high probability of sightings. Kenya has one of the largest leopard populations in the world, and many of the national parks and reserves have experienced and knowledgeable guides who can track and locate these elusive animals. For example, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for its large number of leopards, and sightings are common during game drives. Amboseli National Park is also a great place to see leopards, as they often roam the woodlands and savannahs in search of prey.

However, leopard safaris can also have their disadvantages. One major disadvantage is the cost. Safari tours in Kenya can be expensive, especially for high-end luxury safaris that offer exclusive access to private reserves and accommodations. Another disadvantage is the risk of not seeing a leopard. While Kenya has a large leopard population, these cats are still elusive and difficult to spot. Visitors should be prepared for the possibility of not seeing a leopard during their safari.

Despite the potential disadvantages, a leopard safari in Kenya can be a truly unforgettable experience. It offers the chance to see one of the world's most beautiful and fascinating animals in its natural habitat. In addition to leopards, visitors can also see a wide variety of other wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras.

Other popular destinations for leopard safaris in Africa include South Africa and Tanzania. South Africa's Sabi Sand Game Reserve is known for its high density of leopards and offers excellent opportunities for sightings. Tanzania's Serengeti National Park is also a great place to see leopards, as they can often be found in trees and rocky outcrops.

leopards  are also known as panthera pardus,smallest from the big cat family felidae of the three family tigers,jaguars and lions.



Leopards are part of the cat family, Felidae. The scientific name for a leopard is Panthera pardus.
Leopards are well known for their cream and gold spotted fur, but some leopards have black fur with dark spots. These black leopards are often mistaken for panthers. Adult leopards are solitary animals. Each adult leopard has its own territory where it lives and, although they often share parts of it, they try to avoid one another.


A leopard’s body is built for hunting. They have sleek, powerful bodies and can run at speeds of up to 57 kilometres per hour. They are also excellent swimmers and climbers and can leap and jump long distances.
A leopard’s tail is just about as long as its entire body. This helps it with balance and enables it to make sharp turns quickly. Leopards are mostly nocturnal, hunting prey at night.

Leopards have a strong neck and no tear marks on their facees

Leopards protect their food from other animals by dragging it high up into the trees. A leopard will often leave their prey up in the tree for days and return only when they are hungry! Female leopards give birth to a little of two or three cubs at a time. By the time a cub is two years old it will leave the company of its mother and live on their own.

When a female leopard is ready to mate she will give a scent and rub her body on the trees to leave her smell there. Male leopards either smell the females scent or hear her call to know that she is ready to mate.
The difference betwen a leopard and a cheetah is that
a cheetah has tear marks on its face while a leopard doesn't
Some people believe that the bones and whiskers of leopards can heal sick people. Many leopards are killed each year for their fur and body parts and this is one reason why the leopard is an endangered animal. While they were previously found in the wild in a number of areas around the world, their habitat is largely restricted to sub-Saharan Africa with small numbers also found in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, China and Indochina.














In conclusion, a leopard safari in Kenya can be a thrilling and rewarding experience for those interested in wildlife and nature. While it may have its disadvantages, the chance to see these elusive animals in their natural habitat is truly unforgettable. Visitors should be prepared for the potential costs and the possibility of not seeing a leopard, but with the help of experienced guides and a little bit of luck, a leopard safari can be the trip of a lifetime.

    You have some cheetah pictures in your article. To easily tell the difference, if it looks like it's crying, it's a cheetah (i.e. those black tear marks on the face is something a cheetah would have, but not a leopard).

  1. These animals are really so dangerous.. I wondered to see the first photo where a man is hanging on the tree. I think the travelers should adopt some safety measures there.

    Very helpful review. Many of these questions I regularly use but you reminded me of some others - the prediction question and overcoming the urge in particular - which I shall revisit. Useful summary on Best Safaristo share with.

  1. Great piece in animal identification. I like the one with the guy hanging on the leopard tree as his dinner. It may seem far fetched but worse things have happened in the african wilderness when people forget that these are wild animals
