Objective Data

These numbers come from our per-park seasonal model for leopard: a twelve-month curve built from documented seasonal patterns — migration timing, rainfall and breeding cycles — and reviewed park by park. Each month carries our own encounter-chance and reliability ratings. It is a calibrated estimate of when sightings are most likely, not a count of logged sightings.

Monthly Trends

Season matters. In many parks animals concentrate around water in the dry months, which is why the monthly curve varies so strongly.
