A variety of proteas, ericas and everlastings can be seen, as well as subtropical ferns. Eland, sable and bushbuck occur although large game species are not common, and klipspringer and the secretive blue duiker can sometimes be seen. Birds include fynbos species such as Gurney's sugarbird and the malachite sunbird, forest species like the trumpeter hornbill and crowned eagle and grassland species such as the secretary bird and Shelly's francolin. There is a single communal hut with basic facilities some 3 hours walk into the park. A camping site with a limited number of stands and ablution facilites is at the base camp, which also has an information office.
Winter is the best time for walking, but sudden storms and mist can occur at any time of the year.
