A leopard can sleep or rest for around 12–18 hours a day, especially after a successful hunt. They are mainly nocturnal and crepuscular, so they tend to be most active during the cooler hours of the evening, night, and early morning.
You’ll often find them lounging in trees, where they can safely rest away from competitors such as lions and hyenas while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
Ever wondered when is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania ?
The truth is, Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, but the best time depends on what you want to experience.
➡️June – October: The dry season excellent wildlife viewing, clear skies, and one of the best periods for the Great Wildebeest Migration, especially the dramatic river crossings around July–September.
➡️November – December: Short rains bring fresh green landscapes, fewer crowds, and beautiful photography conditions.
➡️January – March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti/Ndutu thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators and creating incredible wildlife encounters.
➡️ April – May: The long rains. This is generally the quieter and greener season, with fewer visitors and potentially better rates, although some safari logistics can be affected by heavy rain.
So, when would you choose ?
❇️ Migration & river crossings → July–September
❇️ Calving & predators → January–March
❇️ Green landscapes & fewer crowds → November–May
