Legal Requirements

Hunting in Mozambique is regulated by the government, and hunters must obtain a permit before embarking on a hunting expedition. Permits are issued by the National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC) and are only available to licensed hunting outfitters. Hunters must also have a valid hunting license and be accompanied by a licensed professional hunter.

Best Time for Hunting

The best time for leopard hunting in Mozambique is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, leopards are more active and easier to track due to the lack of foliage. However, hunting during the rainy season can also be successful, as leopards are more active during this time in search of food.

Baiting

Baiting is a common method used for hunting leopards in Mozambique. This involves setting up a bait station in an area known to be frequented by leopards and waiting for the animal to appear. One of the great things about leopard hunting in Mozambique is that the pressure is so light that the cats often come in during the day.

Leopard Conservation

Leopard hunting in Mozambique is regulated by the government to ensure that the population of leopards remains healthy and sustainable. Hunting fees and permits help fund conservation efforts, including anti-poaching patrols and habitat protection. Many hunting outfitters also participate in community development projects to benefit local communities and reduce human-wildlife conflict.

Other Species Available While Leopard Hunting in Mozambique

Once you have taken your leopard, there are some species of plains game, hippos and Lake Cahora Bassa is well known for its trophy crocodiles.

Live like you mean it.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
