The absolute undeniably most successful times for spotting leopards are incredibly early in the freezing dawn right when the gates officially open at six in the morning or late in the deep afternoon just before sunset. The big cats are largely nocturnal and hunt during these cool twilight hours.

During the intensely brutally hot midday hours the leopards brilliantly retreat deeply into the thick shady scrubland to sleep making them practically entirely invisible to passing jeeps. Booking a very early morning tour offers the finest soft golden light for breathtaking wildlife photography.
