The coastal strip is usually narrow, the shoreline is poor in natural harbors, the relief rises steeply to the interior of the mainland.
Its surface can be divided into two basic territorial units:
an inner plateau (South African highlands), which averages 1000 to 1400 meters above sea level;
the area between the plateau and the shoreline.
From the highlands, whose precipitation waters are westward to Orange, and to the east by the Limpopo River, which will turn north and west along the Kalahari Basin, gradually descend to it. From it, lonely hills and long stretches of mountain ranges emerge.
