The reserves are linked by a circular route, and the Great Fish River runs through the park.
The elevation of the reserve varies from 95 meters to 561 meters above sea level, characterized predominantly by sharp cliffs descending into river valleys and fragmented ridges between basins. The majority of the reserve is composed of the Great Fish subtropical thicket.[2]
