Located on the border between South Africa and Kingdom of Lesotho, this 242 813-hectare park is characterized by an abundance of high altitude wetlands, including high altitude tarns, bogs, marshes and streams, found between 1300m and 3377m above sea level, in the montane, sub-alpine and alpine zones. It consists of interconnected systems of wetlands.
