Still further out on alluvial soils, the Rain Tree, Leadwood, Knob Thorn and Floodplain Acacia are dominant. Scrambling plants such as Grape Strychnos, Woolly Caperbush and Shavingbrush Combretum abound. The Zambezi Teak is the dominant tree in the woodlands. Msasa, Mufuti, Machibi, Munondo, White Syringa, Manketti, Peelingbark Ochna and Kalahari Podberry are also conspicuous. The southern parts of Matetsi are characterised by deep sands typical of the Kalahari and support extensive teak woodlands.
Mopane woodland grows on the poorly drained basalt-derived soils.
Areas of mixed bushveld and dense thickets are also to be found. The Zambezi River itself is fringed with tall evergreen trees. A number of seasonal marshes add to the habitat diversity.
