Description: Afrikaans: 'n Safarivoertuig in Pretoriuskop-suurveld, hier op pad vanaf Mtshawudam na Shabeniheuwel, sowat 3,4 km vanaf die waarnemer. Dit maak deel uit van die Madlabantu-4x4-avontuurroete in die suidwestelike
Krugerwildtuin, Mpumalanga, Suid-Afrika.
Vaalbome (Terminalia sericea, Combretaceae) is sigbaar op die voorgrond en verder padlangs.Acocks (1975) en Gertenbach het hierdie landskap beskryf as die Laeveldse suurbosveld (van Pretoriuskop). Die hoogte bo seespieël wissel om 600 meter en die jaarlikse neerslag rondom 750 mm. Dit rus op Archaïese graniet en gneiss en vertoon onderskeibare kruine met rooi tot geelbruin grond, en dale met sanderige tot leemsanderige grond. Dit oorspan die waterskeiding tussen die Sabie- (via die Pabene en Mtshawu) aan die noordekant, en die Krokodilrivier (via die Nsikazi en Mbyamide) aan die suidekant. English: Looking over Pretoriuskop sourveld to the granite dome of Shabeni hill, from the Madlabantu Trail, southwestern Kruger Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The foreground trees with brown seed pods are silver cluster-leafs (
Terminalia sericea, Combretaceae). The crest of the granite dome is 3.4 km (2.1 miles) distant.Acocks (1975) and Gertenbach described this landscape as Lowveld Sour Bushveld (of Pretoriuskop). Its altitude varies around 600 metres a.s.l. and the annual precipitation around 750 mm per annum. It rests on
Archain granite and gneiss and presents distinct uplands with red to yellow-brown soils, and bottomlands with sandy to sandy-loam soils. It spans the watershed which divides the Sabie River (via the Pabene and Mtshawu) to the north, and the Crocodile River (via the Nsikazi and Mbyamide) to the south.
