The great inland Karoo plateau, where rocky hills and mountains rise from scrubland, is dry and gets more so going north-west into the Kalahari desert. Winters are mild everywhere except in the higher country. There are frosts and occasional snowfalls in the mountainous Drakensberg and Lesotho plateau.
