The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of the
African continent. South Africa has a great variety of climate zones, from
the extreme desert of the Kalahari near Namibia to lush subtropical climate
along the border with Mozambique. The interior of South Africa is a giant,
mountainous, and sparsely populated scrubland Karoo plateau, which is drier
towards the north-west along the Kalahari desert. In contrast, the eastern
coastline is lush and well-watered which produces a climate similar to the
tropics. The extreme south west has a climate remarkably similar to that of
the Mediterranean with wet winters and hot, dry summers. This area also
produces much of South Africa's wine. |
