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 Mpumalanga?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Scrub Hare at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Timbavati Private Nature 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.
