When and where to find the Scrub Hare

Hosts have recorded the Scrub Hare at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Gondwana Game Reserve and Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

When to go, park by park

Darker months are each park's own best season, when thinner bush or scarce water makes viewing easier. A sighting is never guaranteed.

Best hours of the day

After dark and around dawn. The Scrub Hare is mostly active at night, so a night drive gives the best chance.
Daytime, resting. Usually out of sight in cover, a burrow or water.

Questions travellers ask

A record means a host has seen the Scrub Hare on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Scrub Hare in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Scrub Hare at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Gondwana Game Reserve, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Madikwe Game Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
