Kingdom Trails is a privately owned nature reserve and covers an area of 15,000 ha hidden within a natural amphitheatre of the Olifants River Gorge. It encompasses the confluence of the Olifants and Wilge rivers in the escarpment break above Loskop Dam. The rivers meander between soaring cliffs and lush riverine bush. 

Most of the area is mountainous with gorges and red granite cliffs dropping steeply down to the rivers. It is an area of outstanding natural and scenic beauty that includes Highveld grasslands, red granite cliffs with seasonal springs, bushveld woodlands and dense riverine vegetation along 32km of unspoilt river frontage. This ensures a rich species diversity.

At least 120 tree species have been identified. Numerous riverine, woodland, water and savanna bird species have been recorded. Fish Eagles breed along the rivers and Black Eagles (Verreaux Eagle) are frequently seen near the cliff faces. The African Finfoot is one of the interesting river residents often encountered.
