Most of South Africa’s landscape consists of high, flat areas called plateaus. These areas are covered with grasslands called highveld and tree-covered plains called bushveld.<\/p>\n
To the east, south and west of the plateaus is a hilly region called the Great Escarpment. The eastern mountain range, the Drakensberg, is full of jagged peaks, some of which are even more than 3,475 metres high.<\/p>\n
In South Africa, another small country lies within its borders. Nestled in the Drakensberg Mountains lies the hilly kingdom of Lesotho. Much of South Africa’s water comes from the snow-capped peaks of this tiny landlocked country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[73],"class_list":["post-19061","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry","category-information-en","countries-south_africa-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/19061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faqs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
