19 : African Plains

tafelkop mountains - Vaalwater, Limpopo, Waterberg, South Africa [© 2009 PaulGodard.com]

The strikingly flat-topped hill (above) seen from this point is known as Tafelkop and is a remnant of the original floor of the Waterberg plateau with the surrounds having been eroded away over time into the rolling topography bisected by the numerous small streams of the Waterberg today. The Waterberg Group of rocks that make up the plateau is very thick, for example as much as 3000 metres thick under the nearby town of Vaalwater/Mabatlane.
