The interior of South Africa is a vast, rather flat, and sparsely populated scrubland, Karoo, which is drier towards the northwest along the Namib desert. In contrast, the eastern coastline is lush and well watered, which produces a climate similar to the tropics. The extreme southwest has a climate remarkably similar to that of the Mediterranean with wet winters and hot, dry summers, hosting the famous Fynbos Biome. This area also produces much of the wine in South Africa. This region is also particularly known for its wind, which blows intermittently almost all year. The severity of this wind made passing around the Cape of Good Hope particularly treacherous for sailors, causing many shipwrecks. Further east on the south coast, rainfall is distributed more evenly throughout the year, producing a green landscape. This area is popularly known as the Garden Route.
The
Drakensberg mountains are the highest in Southern Africa, rising up at Thabana
Ntlenyana to 3,482 m in height. In Zulu, they are referred to as uKhahlamba, and
in Sesotho as Maluti. Due to their Geological formation they are exceptionally
distinctive, and almost unique amongst mountain ranges the world over. Only the
Simien Mountains of Ethiopia resemble the Drakensberg strongly.
The climatic
zones vary, from the extreme desert of the southern Namib in the farthest northwest
to the lush subtropical climate in the east along the Mozambique border and the
Indian ocean. From the east, the land quickly rises over a mountainous escarpment
towards the interior plateau known as the Highveld. South Africa is classified
as semi arid, there is considerable variation in climate as well as topography.
