Pour repérer ce félin solitaire, il faut avoir l'œil vif et savoir rester immobile en un clin d'œil. Contrairement aux lions qui règnent sur les grands espaces, les léopards sont les maîtres de l'ombre ; on les trouve souvent allongés sur d'épaisses branches horizontales, où leur pelage tacheté se fond complètement dans le feuillage. Il y a une tension silencieuse à observer un léopard ; il est extrêmement vigilant, scrutant le sol en contrebas d’un regard perçant et imperturbable. Vous pourriez en apercevoir un en train de monter la garde près d'une proie hissée haut dans les branches pour la mettre à l'abri des charognards, ou marchant silencieusement dans les sous-bois au crépuscule, alors que commence sa chasse nocturne. C'est une rencontre insaisissable et palpitante qui récompense le voyageur patient.
Extrait de nos guides
These secretive predators, the Leopard, remain deeply hidden within the dense valley undergrowth and are almost exclusively detected by researchers' camera traps rather than daytime travelers. Because Bwindi features an exceptionally thick canopy layer and rugged, unbroken mountain terrain, these stealthy big cats have endless camouflage options, meaning they safely avoid any interaction with human visitors on the public trails.
- What Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi Is Known For
Bwindi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds roughly half of the world's remaining 1,000-plus mountain gorillas, spread across four trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo. It is also one of Africa's richest birding forests, with more than 350 recorded species, over 20 of them Albertine Rift endemics.
- Best Time to Visit Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi
Best time to visit is considered the dry windows from June to September and December to February, as they offer firmer trails and lower humidity for optimal gorilla tracking comfort.
However, the rainy months, March to May and September to November, provide total exclusivity, fewer trekkers, lower lodge rates, and shorter treks as gorillas move to lower elevations for food, with the same one-hour gorilla viewing once a family is located.

Best Months to See Léopard in Uganda
De la part de notre équipe
Léopard
Leopards are notoriously difficult to spot. Your chances increase if you go on a night game drive or a specialized predator-tracking excursion in Queen Elizabeth National Park or Lake Mburo National Park. My tip: On a game drive, always scan the horizontal limbs of large fig trees and sausage trees, especially near dry riverbeds. If you see an antelope looking intensely in one direction and sounding an alarm call, freeze and follow its gaze!

Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi
Opt for a private flight from Entebbe to Kisoro or Kihihi, rather than taking the long 8-10-hour drive. By landing near the edge of the forest, you completely bypass travel fatigue and arrive fresh, relaxed, and fully energized for your morning trek with the gorillas.
