Nkomazi Game Reserve provides guests with ample opportunities for game viewing. The eastern side of the reserve is dominated by open grassland and this provides the basis for good general plains game viewing. Crossing the river, the terrain becomes mountainous and thicker vegetation prevails. The combination of tracts of open grassland and a prime riverine ecosystem in the valleys and mountains results in a healthy variety of different wildlife species occurring on the property. Lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and rhino have all been recently re-introduced to the reserve. A number of traditional Sotho and San tribes lived in this area centuries ago, and there are a number of cultural and archaeological sites on the reserve which make Nkomazi an interesting destination all round.
