Bob, haven't hunted Namibia, but as you know, my son and I were in Zim., last summer. I know you want a leopard, and I think your chances are much better in Zim, provided you use a reputable outfitter. If you were just after buff/plains game, it would be more of a toss up. I'd go back to DSC, in January and talk directly to the outfitters from both countries. My son and I had absolutely zero problems while there. Here is a small list of outfitters I'd talk to.

Martin Pieters Safaris
Charleton/McCallum Safaris
John Sharp
Zambezi Hunters-Terry Labat[sp]

There are others, but the above would be a good start, plus they will all be at Dallas. Good luck!
