Hare, Cape

The South African Cape Hare is very similar to the European Hare.
They have a body weight of 3-4 kg and are prey for a variety of predators, from jackals to lions.

Cape Hare is primarily nocturnal and spend the day in underground caves, which protects against the warm climate and most predators.

Cape Hare is particularly numerous on the grassy floodplains, where they can easily find food and the ground is perfect for their caves.

It is advisable to shoot this wild species with a shotgun or .22 Magnum

Side By Side Safaris exclusive hunting lodge is located in the middle of the hunting area of Cape Hare and they can be hunted directly from the lodge.
