HUNT A LEGEND IN A LAND UNCHANGED BY TIME​

Tsala Hunting Safaris invites you to join us in Southern Mozambique’s 120,000-acre free-range area , part of a massive 2-million+ acre wilderness ecosystem. Our area is unfenced, wild, and borders the iconic Save River and Gonarezhou National Park—a true leopard paradise.

This is the same country hunted by Cecil “Bvekenya” Barnard, where today, little has changed. Mopane thickets, rolling savannahs, dry riverbeds, and rocky outcrops—leopard habitat in its purest form.

Explore rolling open Savannahs with huge Baobab trees and dense Mopane forests, where a wealth of wildlife thrives. From the elusive Suni hiding in the underbrush to the mighty Eland grazing on the open plains, this landscape is beautiful and rugged . With no fences, the Big 5 roam freely, providing the perfect setting for a great Leopard hunt.

Wow that looks like a great area.

And what a great ad laying out all the details and costs. One would really miss out if not adding that buffalo;)

What are your success rates on leopard?
 
I’m considering a leopard hunt in the near future and will need to do more research. I’ve never hunted Leopard…

I’m interested in the success rate as well.

Considering a hunt like this, what will these adders due to the total cost and how important are they to success?

Optional Pre - Baiting Fee - $ 2 000. How much pre-baiting is required and how critical is it to success of your Leopard hunt?

Cost for overnight stay on route and back from safari area - $ 200 per person.( optional Extra ). Please explain the benefits of this overnight stay and what the alternative is?

Bait animals will taken at 50% of Trophy Fee. Will this include Trophy animals used as bait or do you target specific animals for bait?

Having been involved in two leopard hunts, the second being my wifes baited hunt in Tanzania with an incredible number of cats on bait. The younger resident PH simply did his best to keep baits up all season. There were 6 leopard on bait when we arrived and after our group took 3, 6 were still on bait when we left and the next hunter took one. But that area has a LOT of leopard, lion and hyena. And was a large area next to National Park in real wild Africa. Like I assume this is. Plenty of Plains game and buffalo as well. Not condensed like in South Africa. But very healthy natural populations. Leopard hunting can be monotonous and a risk.in Tanzania we took 17 critters including that leopard and a lion.

My personal leopard hunt was much farther North in Mozambique in an area with mostly sable and baboons, zero buffalo. Never saw a zebra. Saw a few reedbuck and eland. That hunt was with dogs, Conraad Shepers with the late Tinus Botha's dogs really saved the hunt. I actually had the option on that hunt to take two leopard and got a very nice mature male on day 4 after about a 12 kilometer chase. Had the cat bayed once in between on top of a big koppie but it ran again before I could get up a shot. Very exciting hunt!

If you use dogs, you still need to bait because you must start with a fresh track and you need to get that somehow;)

If i did this hunt I would want to discuss with the PH but having g allready taken a nice cat, my preference woukd be to start fresh, no pre-baiting. Be in on the entire experience! But I would also inquire about adding days if needed. Probably book flights with a good agent i could contact from the bush and reschedule the return if needed. At $850/day on a wilderness area (I'm saying that is econical), i would stay extra days if the PH and Outfitter could accommodate that and if we had things happening but had not gotten the cat yet.

Most definitely add the buffalo. That is a lot of leopard bait.

If you are concerned about success and the money, pay the $2000 for pre baiting;) that is a good investment to hopefully have cats on bait when you get there or at least be that many days ahead in the process. If you want the best likely hood of success for the lowest overall cost, pay for the pre-baiting.

Again I'd personally likely not choose pre baiting but rather add a few days on if needed. I'd want the full experience.

And I would at least inquire about getting dogs in. The first time was because the Outfitter was having problems getting a leopard but had trail camera photos. I really enjoyed the proactive approach and excitement of hunting with dogs. And I just like dogs;) That of course gets expensive but it is one of those get what you pay for things:)

I assume you will encounter elephants. Probably lots. Possibly rhino. Possibly lion. This should be a fantastic hunt. In fact if I had the time to do it, I'd be talking directly about booking instead of typing this... haha
 
Sounds like an epic hunt opportunity. I will be in Limpopo in mid June anyway on my 2nd safari and first DG safari, but am not sure I want to sit around for two weeks just waiting to go to Moz. Still interesting for sure. I have heard of your outfit and the feedback was positive.

I do have a relevant question: Does the leopard hunt fee package of $19,875 include any bait animals for the hunt? Or are they an extra ala cart item that is needed but not included? It is an important distinction. I see that the client can pay the $2000 pre-bait fee. Does that price include the bait animal(s)?

To me, it would be more fun and complete as a package if the client hunts and harvests the bait animals also, but I am just trying to understand the costs associated with such?

Two weeks could be just enough time for an elephant hunt in between;) Or plenty to do a night hunt and some sight seeing!

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY
