Gauteng Geography

gauteng geography

Gauteng's southern border is the Vaal River, which separates it from the Free State. It also borders on North West to the west, Limpopo to the north, and Mpumalanga to the east. Gauteng is the only landlocked province of South Africa without a foreign border. Most of Gauteng is on the Highveld, a high-altitude grassland. Between Johannesburg and Pretoria there are low parallel ridges and undulating hills, some part of the Magaliesberg Mountains and the Witwatersrand. The north of the province is more subtropical, due to its lower altitude and is mostly dry savanna habitat.

Gauteng is some 1 760 metres above sea level and lies on the highest part of the interior plateau on the rolling plains of South Africa's Highveld. The Vaal River forms a natural border between Gauteng and the Free State province in the south. 

Its grasslands are rich in indigenous plants and provide a home for 19 of the 39 birds endemic to the country. Occasional hills, ridges and mountain ranges break the landscape and provide rich sources of nature-based attractions. The Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve in Sedibeng and the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens - home to a pair of Black Eagles, one of the few breeding pairs of eagles to live in an urban environment anywhere in the world - in Roodepoort, West Rand are just two of Gauteng's natural gems.
