The reserve is categorized as a savanna biome; along the Olifants River boundary, there are very large Sycamore Fig, Jackal Berry and Tamboti trees. These provide a haven for birdlife while casting welcome shade during the warm summer months. The central and southern part of the reserve is hilly and has numerous Acacia trees, Marula trees, and the iconic Leadwood tree.

Mali Mali Safari Lodge is at the center of this wonderful reserve and was build over 30 years ago by the world-renowned and very well known sculpture Anton Smit. Bought by the previous owners and never opened to the public, this wonderful wonderland of combined art and nature has been kept away from the public all the years. Mali Mali Safari Lodge was recently bought by the new owner, revamped and restored, the Lodge was opened for the first time in 30 years to be visited by the public. The goal of the new owner is to share this unique one of a kind wonderland with everyone that loves the African bushveld and nature.
