South African landscape
South Africa's landscape is diverse and dramatic, featuring mountain ranges, plateaus, and coastal regions. The Great Escarpment runs along the eastern side, creating steep cliffs and valleys. The interior hosts the Highveld, a grassy high plateau, while the Kalahari Desert lies to the northwest. The coastal areas along the Atlantic and Indian Oceans offer beautiful beaches and rich marine life. Notable features include Table Mountain in Cape Town and the fertile Garden Route. The country also has unique ecosystems, such as the Cape Floral Region, recognized for its exceptional biodiversity.
