Spring Hare at Great Rift Valley

The Great Rift Valley's dramatic landscape, with its escarpments and volcanic peaks framing soda lakes, savannah grassland, acacia woodland, and scrubby bushveld, provides a striking backdrop for tracking down Spring Hares. This tectonic trench, part of a fault system stretching across East Africa, offers photographers a mosaic of terrain to work with when searching for this species. Those joining the Wildlife of Shompole Wilderness holiday in October will find themselves well placed within this setting, camera ready for the encounter.
