Wildlife
The 8000hectares of this scientifically managed reserve abounds with plains, hills and mountains to cater for diverse habitats. Apart from Rhino and Buffalo, some 17 species of antelope can be seen, including the very rare Sable Antelope, Tsetsebe, Mountain Reedbuck, Springbok, Eland and Gemsbok to name just a few. Four Leopards have also been identified in the area, but are understandably, not often seen.
For the vivid bird watcher, there are over 250 species of birds on the reserve - it is therefore important to pack a pair of binoculars when visiting Hannah. Apart from the expected typical bushveld birdlife, you can see ostriches and if you are in luck, a Secretary Bird stalking its prey in the grass.
One game drive a day is included in the daily rate and can be taken in the early morning before breakfast or in the late afternoon - these trips take approximately an hour and a half. Game walks can be arranged.
No matter how you look at Hannah, there are always plenty to do and plenty to see. If the bushveld is what you are after, then Hannah is a must.
