From the Cape to the Drakensberg across the Rainbow Nation!
Explore South Africa in WorldGuessr! From the Drakensberg escarpment to the Kalahari semi-desert, Cape fynbos shrubland to subtropical KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa offers remarkable diversity. Navigate the high interior plateau (highveld), the dry Karoo, wine country around the Cape, and the Indian Ocean coast. British colonial-era left-hand driving, distinctive township layouts, Afrikaans-English bilingual signage, and the contrast between developed infrastructure and rural areas help identify regions.
South Africa drives on the left. Road edge lines are yellow and center lines white, the reverse of most countries. Traffic lights are called robots, and licence plates carry the province name. Direction signs are green or blue, and the roads are usually good with wide gravel shoulders.
The landscape runs from Cape Town's mountains and vineyards, to the dry Karoo, to the grassland highveld around Johannesburg, to the green hills and sugarcane of KwaZulu-Natal. Townships with small brick or tin houses sit outside most cities. Bilingual English and Afrikaans signs are common in the Western Cape.
