South Africa 2011
A Day in the Steinkopf Vicinity
Karel gave us some spots to look at, including one Koppie (small hill) made entirely of quartz. That's always a good indicator that lots of succulent plants will be growing there. We also revisited one of our first ever sites in South Africa, the Granite Caps.
