Tsitsikamma Mountains

The Tsitsikamma Mountains extend eastwards from the Outeniqua range along the southern coast of Africa. Between their slopes and the Indian Ocean lie deep river gorges and dense forests, where great yellowwood trees rise above the undergrowth. Mountain fynbos covers more exposed ground. Streams fed by the rains descend from the range towards the sea, including the Tsitsikamma River, whose name is shared by the surrounding country and the mountains above it.
