    Trees of the Kruger National Park Gertenbach 7 Landscape

    14th March 2008

    Location and Geomorphology Rugged Olifants Landscape

    This landscape includes the direct drainage area adjoining the Olifants River, from the western boundary of the KNP to approximately the sandstone koppies at Shiswayini.
    To the north it extends to about the Letaba / Phalaborwa powerline and southwards to the northern boundary of the neighbouring area of Peru. It is a strongly undulating terrain with steep slopes and a great number of small spruits which drain into the Olifants River.
    Among the most important are the Tshutsi, Mulalane, Misumane, Manyukelani from the north and the Klaseri, Tseri, Nhlaralume and Mvubuspruits from the south. According to Schutte (1982) the parent material of the area comprises metamorphic rock such as amphibolite, serpentine, quartzite, quartz-schist and other rocks of Swazium age.
    The altitude varies a lot but the greater portion of the landscape is situated between 250 and 300 metres. In the north-western part of this area the uplands can reach 400 metres above sea level.
    The landscape occupies 360 km/2 or 1.8 percent of the KNP.
