Go with a guide
Guides will often be in radio contact with each other, so if one spots a great lion kill they can let your party know so you get to see it too. A guide is also useful in identifying species.

If you want to spot a leopard, then look up in the trees , look in the rivers if you want to see crocodiles especially in patches of reeds and watch out for steaming dung heaps to give you a good indication how close you might be to an elephant. Take a wildlife distribution map with you so you know what you are looking for at various points in the park.
