South Africa is in southern Africa. Bordered on the north by Botswana and Zimbabwe to the north-east by Mozambique and Swaziland and north-western Namibia. On the east coast is the coast of the Indian Ocean south of the junction of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic, the Atlantic Ocean and the west coast. South Africa completely surrounds Lesotho.
Most of altitude in South Africa more than 914 m (3000 feet) and at least 40% of the area lies at an altitude of over 1220 m (4000 ft). Parts of Johannesburg are 1,829 m (6000 ft) altitude. Resembles an inverted saucer, the land rises gradually from west to east in the Drakensberg Mountains, whose highest is Mount-aux-Sources at 3,300 m (10,823 ft).
The coastal belt to the west and south ranges from 3 to 30 miles wide, ranging from 152m (500 feet) to 182m (600 feet) above sea level and is very fertile, producing citrus fruits and grapes, particularly in the Western Cape. North of the coast stretching Belt, the Little and Great Karoo, which are limited by the mountains are higher than the coastal and semi-arid to arid, sandy waste connections, which eventually join the Kalahari Desert.
