WILDLIFE AREAS
The northern section is dominated by the Xakanaxa region, boasting expansive floodplains and vast lagoons, alongside woodland forests and floodplains.
Towards the east lies Khwai. Remarkably, nearly 80% of the reserve’s dry land is characterised by Mopane veld. Notably, the colossal Mopane trees that form the woodland canopy between Xakanaxa and Khwai are a particularly captivating feature.
The Khwai Floodplain area begins to the east of Hippo Pools and extends towards Mababe. This expansive floodplain, along with its adjoining marginal woodlands, serves as a superb locale for wildlife viewing.
