The Mogologolo, Mariepskop and Hebronberg massifs are partially included in the reserve. Elevation varies from 560 m to 1,944 m above sea level. Its resort areas are F.H. Odendaal and Swadeni, the latter only accessible from Limpopo province. The area of approximately 29,000 hectares is administered by the Mpumalanga Parks Board.
