Jennie Wainwright-Klein gives a presentation on the Maloti Mountains, part of the Drakensberg Mountains, a stretch along the northeastern border of Lesotho forming a watershed with a number of major South African rivers having their source here. The Highlands of Lesotho are a mosaic of wetlands, grasslands and rock faces with many interesting plants. Places particularly rich in plants will be shown: the Bokong Nature Reserve, Letseng-La-Terae and the Sehlabathebe National Park in Lesotho; Witsieshoek and Naude’s Nek in South Africa.
