I have decided to take the plunge and make a dream a reality. Plans are for leopard first, then kudu...leopard being the unpredictable animal that it is, I'm looking for some ideas on where to start as far as choosing the right outfitter to put the odds in my favor.
I've talked to a a few members here, and I know that I don't want a "canned hunt" of any sort, but also want to have high chances of getting my leopard on the first go around. For those of you that have "been there and done that"....please feel free to weigh in and drop some names, areas, etc. as
it would be much appreciated.
If you want a leopard hunt where you’ll have a very high likelihood of killing a good Tom on your first safari, you will want to check into the operators in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. The various PH’s there have an exceptionally high success rate. One of the best is Johnny DuPlooy, who owns Muchinga Safaris. He has the Chifunda concession, which has excellent buffalo, leopard and lion. Kudu, bushbuck, roan, crocs, hippo and other game. Mark Young, Mark’s Exclusive Adventures; books for him and is worth calling to discuss Johnny’s leopard hunts. (307) 250-1156.
