Of all the dangerous African game, the leopard consistently earns its reputation as one of the continent’s most elusive and challenging hunts. Many explorers have found themselves tested by Africa’s silent killer, often compelling an even stronger resolve for this great contest. At Panther Trackers, we specialize in delivering successful leopard hunting safaris that balance adventure, challenge, discovery, and tradition.
Why Choose Panther Trackers?
Founded by Gavin Lipjes, an expert professional hunter with over two decades of experience, Panther Trackers has hunted leopards across their entire Southern African range, from the lush East Coast of Mozambique to the arid West Coast of Namibia. Our name, derived from the leopard’s taxonomical label Panthera Pardus, reflects our core expertise – tracking and hunting these majestic big cats. Our proficiency stems from decades of active pursuit across diverse leopard ecologies and habitats. Mastering leopard hunting is an art - one that requires thinking like a big cat, combining relentless tracking, analysed methodologies, and an insatiable passion for the hunt. This steady dedication ensures we consistently deliver memorable and productive safaris for our clients.
How do we maintain success?
Two standard methods of hunting the leopard include Bait & Blind and Scent Hounds. Each have their benefits, and we utilize the method most suited to the Sport Hunters’ requirements, aspirations, and abilities.
Hunting leopard over bait attracts the hunter who enjoys the reactive style of ambush and attack. This style is most effective when coupled with a seasoned knowledge of leopard activity concentrations and local habitat preference. Combining patience, experience, and resolute confidence will set the stage for the travelling hunter to claim an aged male rosetted cat.
Hunting leopard over hounds is a proactive form of pursuing these elusive cats. Our preferred method of hunting, this traditional style involves intense tracking and an in-depth knowledge of leopard ecology. We immerse ourselves in the world of the leopard, trusting our interpretation of leopard behaviour, incorporating the skill of our expert canine team, with sights set on harvesting the most aged male big cat in the 14-day hunting period.
When committing to a safari with Panther Trackers, it is not just the purchase of a hunting trip, it is securing an authentic African adventure. We prioritize:
- Exceptional Success Rates, by operating only in premium safari areas with healthy leopard populations and proven records of achievement.
- Superb Trophy Quality, our hunters consistently harvest gold-medal-quality trophies, reflecting our commitment to excellence.
- Diverse Opportunities, while leopards are our focus, our safaris also offer options to hunt additional game such as Cape Buffalo, Roosevelt Sable, Livingstone’s Eland, Chobe Bushbuck, and many other endemic species.
- Remote Comfort, our camps blend natural and fabricated materials, offering all the necessary amenities of a safari while maintaining the rustic charm of a remote hunting base. Whether enjoying the camaraderie of a group safari or traveling solo, our camps provide a memorable stay. Additional activities, such as tiger fishing or game viewing, can also be arranged for non-hunting companions.

Your participation directly supports anti-poaching efforts and helps preserve these ecosystems for future generations. By placing value on wildlife, we contribute to their sustainable protection and conservation.
