• Knob-thorn and Marula veld
South of the Olifants River in the eastern half of the park, this area provides the most important grazing-land. Species such as red grass (Themeda triandra) and buffalo grass (Panicum maximum) predominate while the knob-thorn (Acacia nigrescens), leadwood (Combretum imberbe) and marula (Sclerocarya caffra) are the main tree species.
• Red bush-willow and Mopane veld
This area lies in the western half of the park, north of the Olifants River. The two most prominent species there are the red bush-willow (Combretum apiculatum) and the mopane tree (Colophospernum mopane).
