The reserve comprises 3 010 hectares of the breathtaking valley. This valley lies in a horseshoe formed by the Witteberg mountains (2 410 m above sea level) that feeds several mountain streams in the valley floor below. The water descends to a grassy valley of underbrush that accommodates over 232 bird species. The basin itself is home to a variety of Plains Game that includes Springbuck, Black Wildebeest, Blesbuck, Zebra, Ostrich and many others that are historically indigenous to the area.
Use one of the "kieries" for a leisurely stroll across the valley floor or go on a relaxing ride by horse cart or horseback. The South African Boerperd and Endurance Arab horses are born and bred in the valley, and more than 210 make Moolmanshoek their home. The Moolmanshoek Private Game Reserve was declared a National Heritage Site in 1993, mainly because of the rare African Bamboo that grows in the valley.
