A great report from Paul Carter who just spent a weekend successfully searching for Riverine Rabbits, currently top of my list of things to look for when I am back in South Africa (well just below Pangolin at least). Sounds like a top spot.

Great photos! Be sure to submit them to HMW, they are still accepting them for all remaining volumes.
Thanks Vladimir; I have contacted Jose, Paul
Thanks for a very useful report Paul. I had been planning on trying for this species this Easter (before ultimately changing my destination), but the site I had been recommended was on the concession of a very expensive lodge, so this is a much more affordable option. Excellent pictures.
Thanks Charles. I also looked at the expensive option a couple years back; glad I resisted! Paul
Great! Just the sort of info I was after and Jon would you or others here be interested in teaming up at all because I have been keen to look for this rabbit too, along with all the other great mammals that Paul saw. I am pretty flexible with dates and have no current commitments as regards planned trips.
All the best
Jo
